Spital is an area of high cycle ownership. To cycle to town, Spital residents have to currently either traverse a dangerous junction & road bridge to join the Hasland Road cycle route, cycle on the A632 under a dangerous bridge, or cycle a long diversion around the back of the station. With this short spur from the proposed station link, Spital residents would be able to access the town cycling hub at the Spire Business Park and easily cross into town in a number of ways.
