Passengers passing through Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh Haymarket, Falkirk High, Glasgow Central, Inverness, Kilmarnock, Largs, Linlithgow, Perth, Stirling may have noticed bicycles, operated by Bike&Go, at the station.

The roll out of the scheme means that even more ScotRail customers can now continue their journeys in environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner - reaffirming the train operator’s commitment to encourage sustainable, integrated travel.

Under the Bike&Go system, anyone can hire up to two bikes for just £3.80 per 24-hours.

Bike&Go gives unlimited use of the bikes for 24 hours. It’s quick and easy to hire a bike from the station ticket office – with first time users completing a simple registration form before pedalling off.

Falkirk High is the latest station to launch the cycle-hire service, bringing the number of stations offering the facility up to 11.

ScotRail’s Programmes and Transformation Director Ian McConnell said: “We’re committed to making sustainable integrated travel options as easy as possible.

Bike&Go is just one of the ways we are doing this – it’s a fantastic way for customers to complete their onward journey by bicycle.

“Cycling is a great way for people of all age groups to increase their level of physical activity and improve their health and well-being.

“The easy-to-use bikes are ideal for business travellers, visitors and day-trippers.”
