Glasgow Queen Street station will open a new indoor cycling facility.
The Cycle Hub will have space to store 38 bikes with the hope of ScotRail customers having more sustainable journeys and increasing demand for cycling to the city centre station.
Located at the North Hanover Street station entrance, the new hub opens on November 22 and is fully lit with CCTV.
It was originally supposed to open on November 15, but Queen Street station announced on Twitter that the entrance will be closed from November 15 to carry out some other work.
We'll be closing the North Hanover Street entrance to our High Level station from first thing on Monday (15 Nov) to carry out some work in this area. @ScotRail

We'll reopen on Sat 20th. Access to the low-level platforms 8 & 9 isn't affected. Thanks for your patience! pic.twitter.com/aXpCE2RwFF
There are 36 spaces for bikes at the Dundas Street side, and a new canopy covered space for 26 more bikes is to be installed at the North Hanover Street entrance in the coming weeks.
Once this is complete, it will mean that Queen Street station can store 100 bikes.
Cyclists can also rely on the station for help with their bike with the addition of two new vending machines containing products such as repair kits.
The Cycle Hub will be open from 7am until 10pm, but those needing access outwith those times can speak to station staff.
Andrew Marshall-Roberts, ScotRail Economic Development & Communities Manager, said: “We’re fully committed to creating a more sustainable and integrated transport network across Scotland.
“We want to join up journeys across the country, and that includes customers whose journeys start and end by bike.
“As life gradually gets back to normal following the pandemic, we’re seeing more and more customers using bikes as part of their daily commute or leisure travel, and we are confident that the new Cycle Hub at Glasgow Queen Street will encourage more people to use bikes as part of their journey.”
