The funding is part of a £1.3million tranche of investment to improve parking facilities for bicycles in Sussex stations that also include Lewes, Eastbourne and Brighton.

Work has already begun on replacing the old, out-dated station at Hassocks with a new one and the racks will be a welcome addition.
