Jonathan Clarkson, who was working with the team at the station, said: "The turn-out was good initially, mainly during rush hour, because we started at 8am.

"This was our second 'Cycle Hub' and we are considering holding more in the future."

The Be Bright, Be Safe campaign aims to encourage cyclists to keep illuminated at night by using hi-vis gear and lighting so that motorists can see them on the roads.
