The secure cycle hub was based upon our flagship FalcoLok-600 design, providing a light and spacious environment with use of large panels of safety glass combined with a robust galvanised steel frame. The popular design has been used across the UK as a secure cycle hub including; the capitals first series of community cycle hubs as part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest Mini Holland Programme, a bespoke cycle hub and 32m waiting shelter at Derby Midland Station and recent cycle hub installations at Dewsbury, Irlam and Upminster Stations.
Birmingham International Station is located in the borough of Solihull and to the east of the city of Birmignham and serves both Birmingham airport and the National Exhibition Centre with an annual footfall of 5.1 million passengers.
