Cycle parking at Brentford Station

Does anyone know how secure the cycle parking is at Brentford station, particularly in the evening?  Any bad experiences? (or good for that matter).

Thanks for the replies.  I used the cycle parking last week and everything was fine, although it was a bit of a squeeze to find a space.Pity I can't say the same for the train I was catching, which was cancelled.

I too can emphasise investing in a very good lock-check out the bike shop for the most solid U-lock.

Hi, I left my old unattractive mountain bike locked (wheels locked to each other, u-lock on the frame, bag over the saddle)in that cycle parking on the side by the Storage rental business and it was fine. I left it there over one weekend and 3 days and all wheels and saddle showed no signs of being tampered with, so was quite happy (and relieved).

I've never had a problem, though I've never left it there overnight. As ever, a good lock is needed, of course. I once lost the key to a cheapish chain and was a little shocked just how easy it was to get through with a borrowed set of bolt cutters.
