Airport Parkway Travel Hub

A travel hub offers a combination of cycle hire/cargo bikes and car club vehicles in addition to high quality cycle parking and access to public transport services for the local urban community.

Beryl Bikes has been confirmed to manage a bike-sharing component for the Travel Hubs, providing up to 65 e-bikes at different locations in Eastleigh, with the rollout already underway. The scheme is anticipated to launch at Southampton Parkway in Autumn 2024.

Co Wheels car share operator has been secured to operate three car club spaces within Eastleigh.

The aim of this scheme is to provide a facility which has a focus on encouraging the use of active and sustainable transport. A travel hub offers a combination of cycle hire/cargo bikes and e-car club vehicles in addition to high quality cycle parking and access to public transport services for the local urban community. They are located in places which offer access to rail and bus services and have a nearby population to serve e.g. town or local centres.

The proposed Southampton Airport Parkway Travel Hub will provide travel information and interchange opportunities at the Airport Parkway site to ensure integration between modes and improve journey efficiency and journey planning. The hub will be connected to Eastleigh via the TCF Eastleigh Town Centre cycle route (from Southampton Parkway to Eastleigh Town Centre) which forms part of including Southampton City Councils Cycle Network “SCN” route 7.

The Travel Hub if completed, will be the first in Hampshire.

In March 2020, Hampshire County Council welcomed news of the successful outcome of a funding bids to the Department for Transport. Made jointly with Southampton City Council, Hampshire County Council made a bid for investment designed to improve walking, cycling and public transport within the Southampton City Region. The Department for Transport awarded £57 million to the Southampton City Region from the Transforming Cities Fund (TCF). This funding is for capital investment in infrastructure to support and encourage active and sustainable travel from the outlying residential areas to key economic drivers nearer the City Centre. The majority of the investment is on corridors from Eastleigh, Bursledon and The Waterside/Totton in addition to transport and mobility hubs in Eastleigh and at Southampton Parkway.

Following on from our market research, Hampshire County Council conducted a second stage engagement and asked for your feedback on the use of proposed services and facilities on the travel hub proposal in your area. This report summarises the key findings from this engagement exercise.

The survey was open from 26 September 2022 and closed just before midnight on 23 October 2022. The information pack is still available to view.
