A nice new cycle parking shelter has been installed at South Croydon Station.
It is in a prominent position at the entrance to the car park, a deterrent to bike thieves, and has capacity for 8 - 16 cycles. The design is bright and modern, and of a quality you might expect in the Netherlands, so maximum points on this one.
However, I have yet to see a single bike parked here. The surrounding road network is pretty dreadful, access to the station by bike is not easy, so sadly cannot imagine this well designed facility getting much use.

Another problem is that South Croydon is a pretty useless station. People tend to go to EAST Croydon station because it is easier to get to/from with trams and buses stopping outside, easier to get to/from the trains and there are more trains going to more places than at South Croydon !
