The Stations of Value THE VALUE OF STATIONS “GOOD TRANSPORT HELPS PEOPLE GET AROUND AND GET ON AND IS CRUCIAL TO DRIVING ECONOMIC GROWTH. THAT IS WHY THE GOVERNMENT IS HEAVILY INVESTING IN TRANSPORT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SPREADING OPPORTUNITY AND GROWTH AND BRINGING OUR COUNTRY CLOSER TOGETHER.” UK TRANSPORT MINISTER ˜ ° CONTENTS ˝˙ INTRODUCTION CUSTOM HOUSE ˜ˆ THINK MODULAR ˜ ˝ˇ ˘ DALMARNOCK FIRST STOP REGENERATION ˘˝ CAMBRIDGE °˜ ˘ˇ DESIGNED FOR CAMBRIDGE BIRMINGHAM BOND STREET A COLLABORATIVE AN UPGRADE TO JOURNEY TO THE FUTURE COLLABORATION CONCLUSION GLASGOW ° A TIMELESS STATION ˙˜ TAKE STAKEHOLDERS ON THE DESIGN JOURNEY The design must involve everyone with a stake in its success: the asset owner, tenants, local authorities, local land owners and developers, and the community that will use it. Working with these stakeholders is critical to unlocking the potential of a station and capturing its true value as a growth enabler and successfully navigating the planning stages of scheme development. ˝°DEVELOPMENT OF ˝ˆDESIGNING FOR INTRO THE VALUE PROPOSITION RESILIENCE Stations are no longer places that For a new station to be transformative, people just pass through, they are the station must deliver both function and Stations tend to be there for longer than places where people live, work and experience.

PLACEMAKING LIAM HARRISON ˝˜ MARKET DIRECTOR, TRANSPORT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT The successful design of a station depends on how it integrates and works with the surrounding area – whether it’s in a high density urban area, a growth node outside a city or a local interchange in a small town. Placemaking requires planners to meet the needs of the local area, in particular the community’s economy, culture, history and way of life. ˝˙ FIRST STOP REGENERATION BY SCOTT DICKSON, ASSOCIATE ARCHITECT ˝ˇ The reinvention of Dalmarnock Station started as a way to better serve the needs of the Commonwealth Games District in 2014, but now forms a crucial part of the ongoing, long term regeneration of Glasgow’s East End. Working in partnership with multiple stakeholders – Transport Scotland, Network Rail, Glasgow City Council, Strathclyde Passenger Transport and Clyde Gateway – we produced a striking design for the station that has become a dramatic backdrop to rail travel to and from Dalmarnock. Up close, the station is designed as a tranquil background to the kinetic activity of travel, but seen from a wider perspective it is much more than this. Dalmarnock Station represents vital investment in public transport and urban infrastructure in a setting designed to make the most of the rail lines relationship “THE WORK AND INVESTMENT to its context and community. Designed to take full cognisance of the future Clyde Gateway masterplan, FROM OUR VARIOUS PARTNERS the new station design interfaces seamlessly with TO TRANSFORM DALMARNOCK existing public routes and future public spaces to create a rail hub embedded in its context.
