Greener And Brighter Stations Across Hampshire And Surrey
The title of this post. is the same as that of this article on Rail Technology Magazine.
These are the first two paragraphs.
Network Rail hope to save 25% in electricity by rewiring and relighting their Wessex Route stations.
Worcester Park and Andover stations are two of the latest stations to be rewired, forming part of the drive to replace old and inefficient electrical equipment and incandescent lights at 32 stations in Hampshire and Surrey.
As Worcester Park station is Freedom Pass territory, I went to have a look.
Note.
- It appears that all the original light fittings have been updated with some form of LED conversion.
- The LEDs are clearly visible in some of the pictures.
The whole project is called Rewire and Relight and is due to be finished in 2024.
Conclusion
I suspect Network Rail can apply these techniques to a lot more places, than just 32 stations in Hampshire and Surrey.
