The cycle hub at Birmingham’s Selly Oak railway station, which was officially unveiled to the public in March, has been named winner in the innovation category at the Chartered Institute for Highways and Transport Awards.
Centro designed the unique swipe card activated structure to serve as a blueprint for hubs to be rolled out at stations across the region. The hub was created from unique designs drawn up by Centro staff. It is fitted with two-tiered racks providing individual spaces for bicycles, holds up to 30 bicycles and protects them from the elements,
It is monitored by 24 hour internal and external CCTV cameras.
Access to the hub is available for regular cyclists using the station who sign up to the scheme. Around 50 cyclists will be able to join initially and each will be issued with a unique swipe card providing 24-hour-access.
