Grange-over-Sands Active Travel Hub

About

Exciting news - we are trialling a new active travel hub at the station and will be offering mobility scooter and E-bike hire as part of the Electric Bike Network.

Currently we operate a free Tramper hire service with local volunteers based at Grange Library car park, and we've now secured a lease agreement with Northern Trains to operate the trial active travel hub until the end of March 2025 in the Old Waiting Room on Platform 2.

We plan to use the building to operate a service providing access to our services and community projects as well as testing the feasibility of an active travel hub to include mobility scooter and E-bike hire. The hub will be the third new hire service in the developing Electric Bike Network.

When will the active travel hub open, and how often?

We are in the process of preparing the building and plan to open gradually over the next few months. Initially, it will open on an ad-hoc basis with the aim to open at least 5 days per week by late Spring, depending on how much demand there is for the services offered.

What will the hub be offering?

We'll be providing:

Free mobility scooter hire with direct access on to the car-free prom.

Paid for E-bike hire with reduced rates for locals dependent on the research we gather over the next few months. This is in addition to the existing Tramper hire service which is based at Grange Library.

Pop down and chat to staff and find out information about Morecambe Bay Partnership’s services and community projects and how to get involved.

Advice and suggestions for local walking and cycling routes and low-carbon itineraries for exploring the wider Bay area.

We’ll also develop a targeted activity programme of guided rides and walks aimed at those who face barriers to cycling & walking, for health improvement, and social interaction.
