AbellioGreater Anglia has completed an electrical upgrade at Stansted Mountfitchet andNewport rail stations to make them more energy-efficient.
Thetrain operator’s ‘Rewire, Relight’ project has seen every lighting unit on the platformsreplaced with more energy-efficient ones and a complete rewiring at bothstations.
Newvariable controls and automatic settings for the lighting will help to reduceelectricity consumption and improve energy-efficiency, reducing the carbonfootprint of both stations on the Cambridge - London route.
AbellioGreater Anglia’s Programme Delivery Manager, Simon Wilson, said, “The Rewire,Relight project is helping to create more energy-efficient stations and, at thesame time, improve the station ambience and environment for passengers.”
