Station Innovation Zone Playbook and Strategic Guide

A Playbook for Station Innovation Zones

A Station Innovation Zone demonstrates how a ‘reduced barrier innovation zone’ can enable the long-term success of the railways by piloting new technologies, new systems, new models, and services, that can respond to challenges faced by stations. Stations however remain difficult places in which to innovate.

This Playbook guides stakeholders through the process of developing innovation at stations and how to set up and run a Station Innovation Zone through lessons learned at Bristol Temple Meads.

A Strategic Guide

The Strategic Guide highlights actions, and critical enablers that can unlock the acceleration of innovation across UK stations more widely, to enable a transport system that is fit for the future. By exploring principles for effective innovation, it also highlights practical next steps for stations on the way to reaching the future station.
