"Eltham Station has become the first station in Melbourne to receive a next generation bike cage and there are cages for nine more stations on the way soon. Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky said the new cages are further proof of the Brumby Government’s commitment to provide improved facilities for people who choose to combine their train journey with cycling. “The new bike cage is a fantastic addition to Eltham Station and part of a $1 million investment to install up to 20 new bike cages across Melbourne’s train network and at key regional hubs,” Ms Kosky said. The first 10 of these bike cages, expected to be installed by early 2009, will provide around 250 secure new bike spaces for public transport users. The cages provide more secure access than the bike lockers currently in use at Melbourne train stations.”
