Back to newsExploreStation immersive virtual experience events - book now!
We’re delighted to announce that booking has now opened to participate in our ExploreStation immersive virtual reality experiences, taking place in York, Shildon, Manchester, Hereford and Paisley. The immersive experiences are pop-up events, led by Digital Urban, at which you can use virtual reality goggles to travel through the station. Find out more about the immersive experiences here .
ExploreStation is your opportunity to tell Network Rail what you think of its new design for local stations. There are over 2,000 small to medium-sized stations across Great Britain and the design could play a role in significantly improving our environment in urban, semi-urban and rural environments and creating places for communities. We want to know what you think, so we can make the design the best it can be for you!
