Work to improve lighting at rail stations
It's part of a £7m investment by train company Northern
Work to improve lighting at stations in North Yorkshire is nearly finished.
Train company Northern is installing 20,000 energy-saving LED bulbs at stations as part of a £7m investment
The work is set to be finished in the coming weeks - which the company says will help the environment and improve security for passengers.
All the lights have 10-year warranty and burn brighter and longer than the former fittings.
They are also programmed to dim by 50 per cent when there is no movement in the area.
Mark Powles, Customer and Commercial Director, Northern said: “Our priority is always to make sure stations are safe, accessible and welcoming places for passengers.
“The new lighting reduces our energy consumption, reduces carbon emissions and cuts costs.
“We’ve made great strides with improvements, large and small, across our entire network of which LEDs is just one part of it. The new ‘A Better Way To Go’ campaign demonstrates the hard work that has taken place as we continue to transform rail travel in the north and I’d like to thank everyone who has been involved.”
