<p>Santander are pretty good at getting back to you on the phone if you have an enquiry and apparently its up to the local authorities to request the docking station. also for interest to my travelcard cap query above, they are not linked to TfL therefore cannot be included in the daily cap</p>

<p>So how can we get some of the Santander ones in docking stations to Finsbury Park! Could the money from the festivals not be used.</p>

<p>I'm with you on this Micheal, I was shocked by the images of mountains of abandoned dockless bikes in China , years ago before they made an appearance in Europe. Dockless bikes are, as a general rule, cheap to produce in numbers and poorly or not maintained at all, just being left to rot on the streets and I imagine disposed of by local authorities. </p>
<p>Im all for bikes with docking stations though.</p>

<p>I was in Paris a few months ago and dockless bikes and electric scooters have become a real menace. They are in heaps outside of the major metro and overground interchanges and in parks. I detest them and worry that we’re on the road to the same thing here (I can see a green Lime bike abandoned in the middle of the pavement outside my house right now)</p>

<p>Isn’t Finsbury Park in zone 2 anyway at the bottom end at least?</p>

<p>Well it's THE Olympics legacy hotspot so it's not surprising, plus there's a good deal of traffic-free infrastructure compatible with bikes.</p>

<p>Santander Bikes only for Central London and.......Stratford. Decided by 'decree' that it should be in zone 2.</p>
<p>It is 7.3 km from Trafalgar square. Seven Sisters e.g is just 6.9 km from Trafalgar Square.</p>

<p>Prefer the docking stations of the Santander model and wouldn't mind more competitors if they had similar docking stations.</p>
<p>Also it would be good if TfL linked up the £2 daily rental of the Santander bike to the daily cap of the travelcard. Or maybe they do and I just don't know about it?</p>
