Waiting Environments for the Rail Passenger

03 May 2011
Over 2.7 million rail trips are made by passengers on an average weekday. ATOC has stated that passenger numbers are expected to more than double in the next two decades. As a result record expenditure has been planned by Network Rail, Transport for London, Department of Transport and TOCs. Research by Passenger Focus highlights that rail passengers want to see investment in the rail industry, specifically more waiting rooms and station toilets. The opportunity exits for the rail industry to shape the major entrance ways into our cities, towns and rural communities through attractive and thoughtful station design.
