A new secure bike storage area is being installed at Colchester North train station.

The unit, which has space for 134 bikes, will only be accessible using key fobs, available at reception for a refundable deposit.

The new facility, which is due to open at the beginning of next month, is on the London-bound side of the station.

John Mannion, area customer service manager, said: “This is an exciting project which will deliver much-needed additional cycle parking for our customers."
