Bike parking at train stations

Bicycle Victoria strongly supports and is actively campaigning for the introduction of secure bike storage sheds at railway stations across Victoria.

It now likely that some funding will be made available for two train stations to be fitted with secure bicycle parking sheds that can house approximately 40 bikes. These stations will act as demonstration projects to build the case for further installations.

We have selected a short list of stations that might be suitable for this demonstration project. Please fill in this quick survey to help us to choose the best stations for the bike sheds and go into the draw to win a Lonely Planet Cycling Australia book

The list has been selected on the following criteria:
- Outside easy riding distance from Melbourne's CBD
- The stations are where express trains stop.
- The stations have a full time staff presence.
- They are inside a fare zone boundary
- They are accessible by bike, ie there are some bike paths and/or lanes nearby
- There is potential car parking congestion at these stations.

I should post a photo of the new bike lockers at Newmarket train station. They're located behind some cyclone fencing which does not have a gate or opening (I suppose you have to jump the fence) & they've locked.
As most train stations nowadays are only manned part time, like this one at Newmarket, I'm not sure how the locks & keys situation works.
