Station design on track with Stocksigns

Station signage specialist Stocksigns has had a successful few months, working on a number of projects in the rail industry

One such task was assisting on the recent development at Dartford Station, where Stocksigns worked with contractor Osborne and directly with Southeastern to contribute to the new kidney-shaped terminal.

Stocksigns were awarded the signage contract because of successful projects with Osborne in the past. 

Gavin Wilding, technical sales at the company, has noted a developing trend in projects within the rail industry that have more of a design focus. 

Last year saw more people traveling by train putting a strain on capacity. The UK has to invest in stations to tackle this growing demand”

He comments: “Last year saw more people traveling by train putting a strain on capacity. The UK has to invest in stations to tackle this growing demand. 

“As a result, where some other industries have seen a reduction in spend due to the downturn, the rail sector has budget to spend. 

“I believe this gives the opportunity for creative architectural talent to move into the rail sector, and it is clear Network Rail is embracing these creative ideas.”
