SOUTH West Trains has started a new security campaign in a bid to deter cycle crime at stations across the network.

Along with the British Transport Police and Government Office for the South East they are embarking on a roadshow where passengers will have the opportunity to receive advice on how best to protect their bikes.

Transport police officers will also be on hand to offer advice on locking bikes and there will be a free goodie bag from Halfords which will include discount vouchers.

Ian Johnston, South West Trains' customer service director, said: "I am delighted GOSE and BTP are giving their support to this cycle security campaign."

The roadshow will be visiting Southampton on April 11, Fareham on April 13 and Chandler's Ford on April 21.
