Andrew Marshall-Roberts, ScotRail Active Travel Manager, said:
“ScotRail is committed to promoting active travel and developing a more integrated transport network in Scotland.
“We know that journeys don’t start and end at the train station, and there are increasing numbers of people taking day trips, long weekends, and short stays across the country.
“Our partnerships with Brompton Bike Hire, Blair Atholl Bike Hire, Ticket to Ride, and Nevis Cycles will allow more people to explore the best that scenic Scotland has to offer while encouraging an active lifestyle with great economic benefits for the tourist industry in these areas.”
