Digital Urban's installation for ExploreStation

ExploreStation phase 2 kicked off last week with the launch of the first virtual reality immersive experience events, led by Digital Urban , in York before we head off on a tour of Great Britain with a programme of collaborative workshops and immersive experiences.

We’re continuing to gather your insights, opinions, and ideas on the HUB station proposals, and we’d also like to know how you think future stations should deliver for those in their communities.

Whether you’re a regular commuter, an occasional traveller or someone who lives close to the railway, ExploreStation is your opportunity to be part of developing plans for future passenger hubs – local stations putting communities, the planet, and people at their heart. There are still spaces available to attend our collaborative workshops and virtual reality immersive experiences. We’ll be visiting locations across Great Britain in the coming weeks, and we’d love to hear from you.

Each of our activities is being led by pioneering organisations in their field. Digital Urban are leading the virtual reality immersive experiences in Manchester, Hereford and Paisley. The Glass-house Community Led Design are running collaborative workshops in Liverpool, Manchester, Brighton and online. The discussions will continue throughout May and we invite you to join us and share your views!

There are still spaces available to join us:

• Hereford
