We worked with partners to improve access to Plymouth train station.
With peak-time traffic congestion seriously affecting the time-reliability of road journeys there is a growing recognition of the vital role that rail plays in boosting economic growth and in solving local transport problems.
Integration of cycle and rail travel should address travelling to the station, routes into and within the station, signage and cycle parking. Safe, convenient and direct routes are essential when it comes to accessing stations by bike.
