BLUC Cycle locker scheme

BLUC is a cycle parking scheme to encourage people to use their cycles to travel to train, Metrolink and bus stations and town centre locations across Greater Manchester. You can use any BLUC locker within the scheme, so you are not restricted to one particular locker.

How does it work?

Firstly you will need to join BLUC. Click here to download the BLUC application form.

You may want to check whether your bike will fit into the current BLUC lockers. BLUC lockers are rectangular in shape and stand upwards on their smallest end. The dimensions of the lockers are 68 cm wide, 110 cm deep / long, and 190 cm high.

When you join you will get a key that will open any BLUC locker. When you want to use a BLUC locker here's what you do:

  • Use your BLUC key to open any empty locker
  • Attach your membership card to your bike
  • Place your bike in the locker and lock the door using your own personal padlock
  • Keep the BLUC padlock safe until you return for your bike
  • When you collect your bike you must replace your own padlock with the BLUC padlock to allow other people to use the locker
