Gatelines sound pretty cycle-unfriendly too. They certainly are at
Liverpool Street. No mention of "cycle" in the Executive Summary
or any other part of the document referred to above I note.

All in all no consideration of passengers accompanying cycles at
all.


Gatelines are getting better for cyclists, fortunately.
Here's a photo of the new gates at Stevenage, including a wide gate
for cyclists etc.

Doubtless we'll see something similar at Cambridge in due course.


If they can find the space. One such gate will hardly be enough at
Cambridge.

The snag at Stevenage is the stairs, far from cycle-friendly. Are the
lifts actually on the platform side of the gateline?
