West Midlands train passengers avoid station cycle parking due to e-motorbike crackdown and theft fears

Cycle parking use at West Midlands stations has dropped significantly, prompting authorities to seek solutions. The decline from 785 to 629 cycle counts coincided with a crackdown on illegal e-motorbikes and potential fears of cycle theft. Initiatives are being developed to promote station cycle parking, despite an overall reduction in cycle thefts across the region.
