RAIL commuters are in for an easier ride now that secure cycle lockers have been installed at two North-East stations.
Darlington's North Road and Dinsdale Stations have five lockers for hire by commuters who cycle to the station.
They have been installed as part of a programme led by the Tees Valley Joint Strategy Unit and transport charity Sustrans, to provide cycle parking at 21 stations in the area.
Darlington Borough Council's cabinet member for transport, Councillor Nick Wallis, said: "The new lockers will provide a strong incentive to commuters to leave their car at home and cycle to the station.
"We have worked with our partners to provide a practical solution to the problem of cycle security with the aim of giving commuters more choice when choosing how they prefer to travel to work."
Lockers can be hired for between four weeks and a year, and can be booked by telephoning (01325) 388641.
