You asked

Hi there I am a transport analyst and am looking at London cycling in recent years. I notice you have a live updated and interactive map of docking stations in central London, I was wondering if you had a historic data set for docking stations from when the scheme first opened in 2010, and the date each new docking station was created? I’d be very grateful for any help in this area! Many thanks & kind regards
