CPD – Sustainable Lighting for Railway Stations of the Future
With Great British Railways (GBR) due to replace Network in Rail in the near future, the UK rail industry is focusing on sustainable lighting for the railway stations of the future. This CPD seminar looks at how this will be achieved through the rail industry’s 4S framework: Sustainability, satisfaction (customer), safety and stewardship.
We will look at what GBR considers a sustainable luminaire, the circular economy and sustainable product design. How manufactures can aid safety measures and improve customer satisfaction will be examined and stewardship measures explained. The CPD will conclude with some rail lighting best practice advice.

Network Rail Lighting Design In Stations Manual
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to Network Rail’s “Lighting Design in Stations” manual. This release establishes lighting standards across the rail network. We are honored to have supported Network Rail, along with Equation, in the creation of this document.
Core Lighting Requirements for Transport
Effective lighting enhances visual clarity and comfort in transportation settings, fostering feelings of safety and inclusivity for all, regardless of mobility or sensory impairment. With over 50 years of experience, we tailor vandal and weather-resistant luminaires to meet the unique challenges of the transport sector.
