It’s Stations Day, celebrating the rail industry’s billions of pounds of investment in Britain’s railway stations.
车站投资是铁路行业长期计划的核心部分，该计划旨在为每天使用铁路的数以百万计的乘客做出改变和改善。
了解我们努力把乘客放在第一位在这里.
Here are 10 times Network Rail has delivered better stations for passengers this year:
1. Access for All
We’re improving access for all passengers across the railway by providing obstacle-free, accessible routes to and between platforms.
One of our most high-profile examples of the initiative is a dedicated assisted travel lounge, which opened at Birmingham New Street station in June:
政府的Department for Transport, which funds much of Network Rail, has secured further funding of up to £300m to extend theAccess for All2019年4月至2024年3月之间的倡议。

我们为所有需要帮助的乘客提供从火车站到车站大厅的辅助旅行。去年，几乎有59000人在伯明翰新街使用这项服务。
2. Free and improved toilets
The toilets at all 20 of our managed stations are now free to use, making journeys more comfortable at some of Britain’s biggest and busiest transport hubs.
The facilities are already free at stations includingBristol Temple Meads,曼彻斯特皮卡迪利,利兹,Liverpool Lime Street,London帕丁顿和伦敦水r厕所.
与此同时，我们正在改造一些车站的厕所，比如伯明翰新街站,Liverpool Lime Street和伦敦维多利亚使他们更舒适，更方便所有乘客。

三。免费喷泉
我们在我们管理的车站安装了免费的冷水喷泉，这样你就可以自己倒瓶子了——让乘客保持水分，大大减少塑料垃圾。
我们估计喷泉每周在每个地方可以节省相当于1000个塑料瓶的费用。
4更多座位
我们在中央大厅和周围增加了150个座位曼彻斯特皮卡迪利(pictured below) in July after passenger surveys indicated there were not enough at the station.
在此之前，我们在一些最大的车站安装了更多的座位，包括伦敦维多利亚300个座位和伦敦尤斯顿新的客户座位区。
5. First glass finish for Glasgow Queen Street
Last month, engineers completed work to install the 310 glass panels on Glasgow Queen Street railway station’s new frontage.
占地面积734平方米，21米高的落地玻璃将为皇后街的新外观设计注入活力。
Completion of the glazing marks another milestone in the £120m transformation of Scotland’s third-busiest station.
在皇后街内，工程师们继续致力于将4号和5号站台延长26米，以允许新的8节车厢的电动列车使用它们。
我们仍在为四号和五号站台的扩建而努力。它们将于10月14日星期一重新开放。
6更好更明亮的利兹
9月，我们在利兹车站完成了新的车站屋顶，大大照亮了大厅——我们用透明屋顶取代了旧的木质屋顶。
与此同时，翻新后的公厕将于8月重新开放，新的自动检票口将于9月下旬投入使用。
7救生设备推出
上个月，我们与威尔士交通部合作，在威尔士和边境线的21个火车站安装了救生除颤器。
威尔士最繁忙的火车站的一些交通工具配备了除颤器，这种除颤器可以对心脏骤停患者的体温进行高能电击，但这项在威尔士和英格兰地区的新投资覆盖了更多的城市、城镇和村庄。
The new defibrillators are known as public access defibrillators (PADs) because anyone can use them and they require no training; clear instructions explain how to attach the defibrillator pads.
8为乘客提供更好的信息
从7月份开始，英国国营铁路公司（networkrail）和火车运营商东南铁路公司（Southeastern）经过两年的合作，肯特郡、东萨塞克斯郡和伦敦东南部的乘客都从改善的旅程信息中受益。亚搏彩票软件官网
新屏幕以更容易阅读的格式为东南部乘客提供更多信息。我们安装了新的公共广播（PA）系统，配有更高质量的扬声器、放大器和麦克风。
We have also upgraded the technology that supplies the on-screen information and controls the automated announcements.
With Network Rail renewing the hardware of the systems, Southeastern specified software upgrades to coincide with the work:
- 路线上每个车站的预期呼叫时间，现在显示在下一列车指示器上
- The train’s current location
- Information about where a train is if it hasn’t yet departed, or it has come from the depot, making this visible at all stations along the route.
9. London’s newest railway station
Meridian Water in Enfield, London officially opened in June as part of a £6bn development of the area led by Enfield Council. The new station serves passengers ahead of the construction of 10,000 homes and the creation of thousands of jobs.
It has replaced the existing Angel Road station to provide better accessibility for passengers; stairs and lifts enable step-free access across the railway and to the concourse.
10. Longbridge overhaul
A £1.7 million-pound refurbishment of Longbridge railway station has provided a better experience for passengers in Birmingham since July.
We totally changed the outside of the station with a new entrance, glazed roof and cladding. Inside, we built a larger concourse, ticket office and accessible toilet.
它们结合在一起，为受益于新商业、休闲和住房发展的地区提供了一个明亮的现代交通枢纽。
