Good news for the push-bikers of Leeds.
Eye understands that an instruction has come down from on high that Cyclepoint "must be open by May".
Cyclepoint is based on a Dutch concept which combines manned and secure cycle storage with retail, repair and hire facilities at major stations. The first of which is being piloted at Leeds station by Northern Rail.
Only last Friday the Noble Lord went to Leeds to figuratively cut the first sod (very carefully making a few first cuts in the concrete without disrupting the commercial lets downstairs).
A challenging job to build, with a minimum of wet trades work, whilst still allowing valuable commercial use downstairs to operate without interruption.
Earlier press releases spoke of Cyclepoint opening in mid-2010.
But presumably this doesn't fit The Grid.
More importantly it won't allow Lord Adonis to open the new facility as part of April's electioneering Pilgrimage of Grice!
