"It will improve integration between cycling and rail travel, promote sustainable journey choices and encourage more active and healthy lifestyles."

ScotRail cycling manager Kathryn Mackay commented: "We want to join up journeys across Scotland, and that includes those which start and end by bike.

Mark Flynn depute convener of Dundee City Council added: "The physical infrastructure to support more active travel, including cycling, is key to improving air quality and health in the city.
