Bike Lockers in Heuston Station

nok2008

Hi
Just wondering whether anyone has used the bike lockers in Heuston Station. In Dublin for a few nights and wondering whether they are safe to store the bike in for a day or 2.

I know one guy who uses them to store a city bike for his train commute. Been doing it for a year or so now.

I've left my bike in the shelter (up the back) a fair few times. Sometimes over weekends. It's well lit and has cameras. Not sure how safe it is, my experience may vary from others.

I've no experience with the actual lockers however.

Unless it's changed, you have to take out a subscription and store it there regularly - you can't just rock up and hire a locker. Lousy system.

is it Cyclok like at Pearse Station? If so you can pay as you go, but it would add up if you were using it a lot.

May have to contact them so. The website does not really answer the question. You would think that they would have a few that could be rented on a daily basis

I've to travel to Limerick a few days a week on a regular basis so I'm looking at the logistics of leaving a bike overnight at Heuston.

Bikelocker.ie have no availability and Cyclok looks impractical from a cost/availability POV.

Any thoughts on leaving a semi-decent cx/commuter in the shelter at the back beside the carpark? Will have good cable and u-locks on it.

I wouldn't.

Funny that no one near the station with a handy basement has set up a fiver-a-night bike storage business.
