Can anyone tell me if there is luggage storage in Lucca railway station

There is no left luggage at the train station but the Tourist Information office in Piazzale Verdi will store bags. The pickup time is around 5:30.

The Trenitalia web site says there is no luggage storage at the train station. However, I think that the tourist office in the main square will store luggage.
We are travelling from Florence to Cinque Terre in May and plan to stop off in Lucca for a few hours as this is all the time we have. Does anyone know if the luggage storage option is still available at the tourist information office in Piazzale Verdi? And if so the best way to get to it from the train station.
thanks you

I have heard no reports that the tourist office has stopped storing luggage. I believe it is quite pricey though. You can easily walk from the train station to Piazzale Verdi in 5-10 mins
Haven't tried this, but the other day we noticed left luggage sign at the bike hire place just outside the station, on left hand side of park outside station, about 30 metres from Lucca station.
thank you for your help

Has anyone been able to verify cs68's report about "left luggage" availability at the bike hire place just outside the Lucca train station?
Can't verify exactly, but I saw the sign myself on Friday as well.
Hi There
We are planning the same agenda in April this year, can you advise how it went for you and was it worth while.
Was it difficult, any problems
Thanks interested Aussie
Thanks, Interested Aussie, but our trip is in April, too! If no one else posts, maybe we'll find out together and be able to give a two-fer update to future travellers!
