New Lighting at Westerfield Station

23 May, 2016

Passengers are benefitting from brand new lighting at Westerfield. The station’s electrical system has been completely rewired and all platform lighting replaced with high intensity LED fittings.

The new scheme drastically reduces the station’s carbon footprint as the new lighting is much more energy efficient than the fluorescent fixtures they replaced; in addition they’re fitted with variable controls and automatic settings.

New lighting has also been installed inside the station shelter which incorporates an emergency setting; this will enable the shelter to stay lit for several hours in the event of a power outage.Network Rail logo 

The lighting upgrade was funded by Network Rail as part of a package of improvements at several stations across East Anglia.
