Using empty platform space ... bronchs

Apart from signals and converging tracks, the end of most railway platforms are uncluttered.  How about using that space for connections into a cycle-friendly infrastructure?  Network Rail's plans for London Waterloo show the opportunity.

Instead of fighting through the main concourse and trying to grab a Boris bike outside the entrance, it would be as easy as walking in the other direction!  Smaller pods of bikes would be available safely screened from the tracks, or a folding Brompton bike could be used.  

Then it would be easy to cycle into dedicated cycleways which would gently climb above the tracks.  Such a light structure could connect to other London terminals within quarter of an hour.  These overground tubes would carry fresh air into the heart of the city ... they would be the bronchs.

Fantastic, futuristic but realistic!
