Great news! In response to our campaign, Southern have agreed to pause removal of the bike parking. Southern have also said they will "continue to consider improvements to the bike storage facilities at the station".

This is a huge success - thank you all for signing, sharing, writing to Southern, sending over your photos, and all the other actions you have been taking! In the last week we have achieved over 650 signatures, as well as letters of support from Natasha Irons MP (Croydon East) and Sarah Jones MP (Croydon West).

However, the fight is not over - Southern have still not given any firm assurances about the long-term future of the bike parking, how long the "pause" will be, or how much notice we will get of future changes.

For now at least though, the bike racks are safe. Southern have agreed to meet with me, several other campaigners, and Natasha Irons MP in the coming weeks. This will be an opportunity for us to push for stronger commitments from Southern, and for proper consultation with station users to take place before any other changes are made.

 I will continue to post updates as we hear more. Thank you all again for the amazing support.
