Brompton bike hire scheme for commuters

Commuters will be able to cycle from train stations to their office as part of a new South West Trains scheme.

The Brompton Bike Campaign is the UK’s first green cycle hire initiative by a train company and will encourage passengers using South West Trains to combine their journey with cycling using a Brompton fold-up bicycle.

South West Trains season ticket holders will be able to hire a Brompton bike for up to a year for less than £2 a week, enabling them to make their journey to and from the station on bike.
