Folding bikes will soon be able to be hired from Kenilworth station thanks to a grant from West Midlands Railway.

Warwickshire County Council applied for the grant as part of West Midlands Railway’s Your Community, Your Fund scheme.

The Unfolding Kenilworth project aims to boost physical and mental health by better integrating active travel into everyday journeys.

It is also hoped that it will help drive people away from being dependent on cars by providing an accessible alternative.

“We are committed to making travel easier for our customers and communities, which is why we were delighted to provide funding for this innovative Unfolding Kenilworth project.

Matt Bradley, head of stations for West Midlands Railway
