"This fantastic new cycle hub, with more than 650 storage spaces, will help our customers leave their cars at home and choose a sustainable way to travel to and from Richmond Station. Following our recent restoration of the station's heritage features, we're grateful to Richmond Council for working with us to make this additional investment in a greener future for the area."
"A new cycle hub has opened at Richmond Station, with capacity for 650 cycle parking spaces. Backed by a £664,000 investment from Richmond Council and delivered in partnership with South Western Railway, the new hub features solar panels on its roof, which will produce approximately 24,500kWh of renewable energy annually - equivalent to the usage of about 8 UK homes."
Richmond Station now has a multi-storey cycle hub providing capacity for 650 cycle parking spaces. Richmond Council invested £664,000 and delivery was in partnership with South Western Railway. The hub's roof-mounted solar panels will generate approximately 24,500 kWh of renewable energy annually, equivalent to about eight UK homes. The facility includes a 60m² living green wall planted with 4,000 plants and pollinators and a 1,500-litre rainwater harvesting system. The structure occupies the station's existing car park with cycle storage on two upper floors and cars retained on the ground floor. The hub has 24-hour CCTV and will be managed by Lockit-safe.
