Abstract

<p>In 2018, Network Rail set out on a program of improving its offer of approved designs for the railway environment. The objective was to develop designs for railway stations that are accessible, user friendly and not too imposing. By the end of 2019, Network Rail oversaw the initiation and approval of two new footbridge designs, the Beacon and the Ribbon. A third design, the Frame, was completed in 2020.</p><p>The Frame design was a winner of Network Rail’s Station Footbridge competition [1] launched in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 2018. Of the 120 designs submitted, http://www.ribacompetitions.com/networkrailfootbridge/long-listed.html the competition was won by Danish designers.</p><p>This is an account of developing the three distinctive designs from a common design brief.</p>
