TRAIN operator GNER has added 70 cycle spaces for passengers at a North-East station as part of its modernisation programme.
Darlington station will now offer 98 free lock-up cycle spaces, on platform 4, for people taking the train who want to leave their bicycles at the station.
GNER spokesman Andy Naylor said: "The increased number of cycle racks at Darlington station will provide better access and improve bike-rail integration for passengers who wish to cycle to and from the station.
"The new cycle-rack facilities are part of GNER's £10m station improvements programme to modernise facilities for all passengers at key stations along the East Coast Main Line."
GNER's station modernisation programme is due to be completed by next April.
The improvements vary from station to station, but include new customer information systems, refurbished toilets, improved security, refurbished travel centres, lounges and subways, and bigger car parks.
