What's new for 2023?

The 20th Annual Rail Stations & Property Summit will present three key sessions led by expert speakers:

1: Rail – a new growth agenda

  • New approaches to asset management,  land redevelopment and leveraging transport-led infrastructure to maximise investment
     

  • Rail stations are increasingly central to wider spatial and connectivity strategies,  creating neighbourhood-oriented transport schemes
     

  •  Rail offers key passenger transport solutions – decarbonisation, convenience and accessibility
     

  • Stations are being re-positioned as gateways, mobility hubs and local centres​

                                         

2: A better customer experience

  • Enhancing the passenger experience through innovative technology and applications 
     

  • The importance of cross sector collaboration and public-private partnerships in delivering successful community  assets
     

  • As travel trends evolve, rail is well positioned to be a preferred  transport choice for the boom in rail-based leisure and tourism journeys

  • Integrating land use mixes and services to create  places that are flexible for the future

3:  Development case studies

  • Spotlight on the major UK projects setting new standards for placemaking and development
     

  • Generating economic, social, and commercial value: maximising local value creation 


  • Developing new land uses to attract toursists, employers, workers, shoppers and leisure customers
     

  • Boosting accessibility and connectivity, including walking, public transport, cycling and e-mobility 
     

New for 2023

Join us to hear about new opportunities for 2023

whyattend
  • Rail is still in recovery mode – but leisure and tourism trips are growing strongly  
     

  • As cities bounce back post-pandemic, rail stations are increasingly important as ‘gateways’ and neighbourhood hubs
     

  • Rail connectivity is now core to many major new development projects
     

  • Record sums are being invested in improving the passenger and customer experience
     

  • As UK aims to meet its decarbonisation targets, stations are increasingly becoming integrated transport hubs

After a period of uncertainty, 2023 looks promising for rail travel and the stations that serve commuters and travellers and, increasingly, shoppers and tourists.

Rail is bouncing back strongly across leisure sectors, driven by climate-conscious consumers looking for low carbon travel options.

UK developers, also aware of the urgency to decarbonise, are improving on the established principle of transport-led infrastructure by creating neighbourhood-oriented transport (NOT) schemes, a term coined by leading urban design consultancy Gehl.

 

Neighbourhood-oriented transport focuses on what the station can  provide for the local area - a station environment and experience that is  attractive to daily travellers and to local customers using the station as a destination in its own right.

Rail journey trends in numbers:

26%

Analysis of rail industry journey figures show a 26% increase in train journeys since the end of the summer holidays, with leisure journeys at around 90% of pre-pandemic levels

45%

There’s a slower increase in commuter journeys, currently at 45% of pre-pandemic levels, which could put the recovery of city centre businesses at risk

55%

Overall, since the start of September 2022, leisure journeys now account for 55% of all train journeys compared to 33% pre-pandemic

54%

Commuter journeys outside of London are now at 54% of pre-pandemic levels, whereas London is only at 41%

10.7m

Over 10.7 million households in England and Wales are within a 15-minute walk of their nearest station, the equivalent to 41% of households

2,200

There are over 2,200 railway stations across England and Wales. Of the top 20 busiest stations, only Birmingham New Street, Leeds and Manchester Piccadilly are outside the capital

158m

Passenger numbers at the top 20 busiest stations exceeded 158 million in the year to the end of March. This compares to just 436 ‘entry and exits’ at the 20 least-used stations.
