@TfGM think Saddleworth is too hilly for cyclists

Well, sort of anyway. The story goes thus:

Greenfield train station is usually a deserted place of two platforms and a ticket machine. Except for rush hour when the services between Huddersfield and Victoria bring commuters in their droves.
Bike parking facilities are rather bog standard with three Sheffield stands on the Manchester bound platform and zero on the Huddersfield side. The three stands have always been in use whenever I am forced into using the train.
Now, Saddleworth Parish Council - an organisation obsessed with Yorkshire for some reason - is asking riders to lobby TfGM to get some more robust bike lockers installed.
For their part TfGM doubts whether they'd be used 'in this hilly district.'

The splendidly named Royce Franklin - chair of Saddleworth transport committee - thinks otherwise: 'Roads linking the major villages are quite suitable for multi-geared bikes and cycling to the station.' he said - possibly while peering over a pair of half-moon spectacles while reading The Telegraph.
Well said that man.
