Good morning East Midlands Railway (EMR), please can we have more space for bikes? You’ve got to admit, 2 bike spaces for the London-Sheffield train is a bit of a joke. Note: in the photo, the conductor kindly allowed a third bike onto the train. 🚲 🚲 🚲

With this being the print edition it means that everyone who drives to a supermarket today will see this anti cyclist dog whistle BS and get to stew on it a while before getting back in their cars looking for someone to take their frustrations out on....I'm not riding again today

Dear Louise Haigh, Shadow Secretary of State for Transport, the genius that is Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps has left you with an open goal. I hope you put him in his place, to put it mildly.

Guess what Conservative Friends of Cycling & Walking, Sunak lied to you. He plans to be a prime minister who would tackle what he called a "war on motorists". He really doesn’t give two hoots about active travel. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Sheffield bus single fare: £2.20 London bus single fare: £1.65 No wonder everyone drives in Sheffield, and to be honest, who can blame them? When are you going to stop prioritising cars over all other modes of transport Sheffield City Council Sheffield Green Party LabourSheffield ?

Used to be able to walk through here to get to The Range UK but Chesterfield Borough Council have decided they don’t want to encourage walking by putting in an ugly looking fence. I won’t be visiting the Range today.

Once again witnessed someone being refused onto an East Midlands Railway (EMR) train as only 2 bikes allowed. Embarrassing that they refuse to increase bicycle capacity.

Meanwhile, it seems Chesterfield Borough Council & Derbyshire CC have yet to discover bicycle hangars. ☹️Cycle Chesterfield, what say you? What are families without garages supposed to do if they want to cut down on short car trips, when they have nowhere safe to store their bikes?

Four more people refused onto the train because East Midlands Railway (EMR) refuse to allow more than 2 bikes per train, even though it is half empty. A complete joke of a company.

So the new East Midlands Railway (EMR) trains will have only 2 bicycle spaces with only those who have reserved a space allowed to take their bike. An embarrassing and unacceptable backward step just when alternatives to car travel need encouraging. Louise Haigh Toby Perkins MP Cycle Chesterfield
