scope:

The 300 series of design modules covers accessibility, wayfinding, security and safety in station environments and other public buildings associated with the safe transit of passengers. They are principally aimed at sponsors, public authorities, third party developers, designers, engineers, project managers, and anyone involved in the design and delivery of stations.

This standard and the associated modules should be applied to all National Managed Stations. It is also advised that it is applied to all categories of UK stations.

Purpose

This standard provides advisory guidance which supports Network Rail's broad objectives, goals, strategies and policy requirements for station design and planning. It references UK legislation and British Standards and provides a framework for design processes, assurance systems and specified controls that will encourage good design, assurance and control at all levels of station and infrastructure development.
