Cycle unfriendly Crossrail

Barking's nearest Crossrail station (probably) namely Ilford, will not be cycle friendly says CTC's magazine Cycle (Apr/May 2008, page 8).

Crossrail's "working assumption" is that cycles will be banned from the central tunnelled section of the railway despite the fact that the Crossrail trains themselves will be suitable. Two central London stations will have no cycle parking and many others will have "minimal" parking. This doesn't chime with the Mayor's target of quadrupling cycling by 2025.
