Question
How will the Minister counter the loss of seats and passengers on trains if every carriage has at least two spaces for bicycles, as laid out in the active travel delivery plan?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Our £800million investment in rolling stock will significantly increase the number of seats, and the number of carriages will rise to 484 from 270 in 2018. This extra capacity includes a mix of dedicated and flexible spaces for bicycles with at least 2 spaces for bicycles in every carriage.
