Stations as Places - designing & planning rail stations
- 1. The Role of Stations 18th February 2015

- 5. St Pancras
- 6. Kings Cross
- 7. 7 Stations as Places • No longer just a place to catch a train • Not all about Burger King and Whistlestop! • Lifestyle centres: places to eat, drink, shop, work, exercise • Community hubs
- 8. 8 Stations as Places – ‘Meet me at St Pancras’ • St Pancras International • 60 stores • 1 million visitors / week • 25% visitors not travelling
- 9. 9 Stations as Places – Leisure & Retail • Canary Wharf Crossrail Station • £500m value • 4 levels of retail / leisure • Rooftop garden
- 10. 10 Stations as Places – Community Hubs • Grindleford Station Café • Sheffield Station Tap • Carnforth Station Café
- 11. 11 Stations as Places – Managing our Time • Amazon Locker, London Underground • Regus Office, Amersfoot, NL • Smart wall grocery shopping, Seoul
- 12. 12 Economic Case for Investment • ‘Traditional’ business case centres on generalised journey time savings and the value of time. • We now use our time differently and more productively when we travel. • The wider economic benefits warrant inclusion; we should view things more holistically. Generalised Journey Time Savings Wider Benefits
- 13. 13 Stations as Revenue Generators • In 2 years Network Rail has increased retail space by 20%. • By 2019 it plans to have 850,000sq ft. • Network Rail collected £700m in retail income over the five years from 2009 to 2014. • • This is forecast to rise to £1.2bn in the next five years.
- 15. 15 Driving Growth • Desire for higher value knowledge-based jobs in city centres. • This means greater specialisation in key sectors. • Specialisation means more movement, longer trips, more congestion. • To connect business with their labour markets you need good connectivity. • To retain staff you need them to be willing to travel. • Agglomeration benefits: In space but also in time.
- 16. 16 Increasing Importance of City Centres Distribution of Private Sector Jobs in Leeds. (Source: Centre for Cities) • Face-to-face contact in city centres becoming more important. • Importance of: • Near Connectivity (high job densities in knowledge functions) • Far Connectivity (access to labour and markets)
- 17. 17 Rail Patronage Growth • Growth in Northern Rail Patronage 2003 – 2013 = 108% • National projection for next 10 years = 30% 108% increase
- 18. 18 Station Led Regeneration • The case for station expansion and development • Strategic positioning of new rail lines and stations to maximise regeneration • Stations as the lynch pin for regeneration
- 19. 19 Strategic Regeneration – High Speed 1
- 20. 20 Strategic Regeneration - Ebbsfleet “Rail at the heart of a new Garden City”
- 21. 21 Strategic Regeneration - Stratford “…the station at the heart of event led change”
- 22. 22 Strategic Regeneration – King’s Cross “… a magnet for culture, business and creativity”
- 23. 23 Strategic Regeneration – High Speed 2
- 24. 24 Strategic Regeneration – UK Central • 100,000 jobs • £15bn output by 2040
- 25. 25 Strategic Regeneration – Leeds Southbank • Up to 6,000 jobs on the Southbank • A major extension of the city; integration is key
- 26. 26 Strategic Regeneration – York Central
- 32. 32 Station Capacity • Yorkshire Rail Network Study: 2 fast tph, 75% of car journey times. • 30 trains per hour across Leeds West junction alone, and an extra 6 trains per hour from Sheffield. • HS2 and One North proposals will add to the demand for rail travel from city stations, requiring increased capacity.
- 33. 33 Station Capacity • More passengers means more trains and a need for bigger stations. • Services through northern stations are already crowded. 0.0% 0.5% 1.0% 1.5% 2.0% 2.5% 3.0% 2011 2012 2013 Leeds Leicester Liverpool Manchester Newcastle Nottingham Sheffield Overall PiXC Crowding on Services Through Northern Stations
- 34. 34 Station Capacity • Rail fares cover 62% of the operating costs of the railway • For 10 years fares have risen above inflation • But passengers aren’t seeing the benefit – only 4/10 are satisfied they get value for money – not a sustainable model! • The only way forward is growth. 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% CrossCountry East Midlands Trains First TransPennine Express Northern Rail 3 Hour AM Peak 3 Hour PM Peak Percentage of Passengers Standing on Services Using Sheffield Station
