Great way to get more cars on the road, good job big brains!

We definitely want to get more people cycling. Drivers who park at the station are also affected, as the article states:
Car thefts will not be investigated if the vehicle has been left for more than two hours

My lad's bike was nicked from a train station a few months back. He'd left it there, locked in the rack while he was at work. You know, pretty standard stuff.
BTP told him they weren't going to investigate it because it was left for longer than 2 hours.
I'm still fucking angry about that.
edit: Oh, just read the article, and yeah, that's exactly what it's about. Cunts.

I wonder if they'd adopt the same two hour window if I smashed into a ticket machine and stole all the cash.

Too busy harassing people they think may be fare dodging to protect private companies bottom lines whilst said companies continue to raise prices and drastically decrease the quality and reliability of the service.
ACAB. Fuck the police and fuck the useless fucking train companies.

2 hours. Completely defies the point of having the racks. I can understand bikes left for days considered an issue. But not covering actual daily commute times for working people. The main purpose of public transport,
MPs need to come down on this. It's utterly disgusting that BTP has jurisdiction and has decided independently what they consider to be their fucking job.
Honestly the only thing commuters can do is write to MPs.
Even if it was left for days, the act of scanning through a video looking for the point the bike arrives and is then no longer there is fucking trivial.
