Cycle racks are already available at the station. A further 15 ‘Sheffield’ square arch cycle racks are included in the new scheme. In the future when funding allows, we would like to provide under cover racks. There will be CCTV covering the car park and café area.

We are also exploring cycle hire. Imagine. Arrive by train and discover the surrounding areas by bike! Melksham is a great starting point for visits to National Trust locations and the Kennet & Avon Canal. Using the bike hire app you would be able to rent a bike from and return to our Melksham Hub. We expect it to cost £2.50 per hour with a maximum £15 charge per day. We’ll keep you posted.

Melksham station is well within cycling distance of several attractive locations

The next phase of the overall Melksham Masterplan includes a northern access route to the station for cyclists and pedestrians. At this point we expect to upgrade the cycling storage facilities.
