Project Overview

Trueform was selected by Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) to design, manufacture, and install bespoke passenger waiting shelters at several GTR-operated stations. The project covered a number of stations, including Flitwick, Pevensey Bay, Wivelsfield, Waddon, and Kenley, with works delivered across two separate contracts.
 

Trueform worked closely with GTR to develop custom station platform shelters tailored to the specific requirements and character of each location. Each design was created to improve passenger comfort while integrating seamlessly into the existing station environment.
