Now the UK\u2019s biggest train station outside of London, New Street operates at almost double the capacity it was designed for, and suffers from heavy commuter traffic that has over time has eroded the stations appearance and the effectiveness of its transport digital signage.<\/p>\n<h2>Redevelopment and Network Rail<\/h2>\n<p>Long overdue for an update, the \u00a3600 million redevelopment project managed by Network Rail aims to transfer the station quarter into a 21st century commuter hub, with a grand concourse that\u2019s three and a half times bigger than the current station and is capable of handling more than 250,000 commuters every day<\/p>\n<p>However as part of the project, Network Rail needed to find an interactive display solution for displaying travel information; one that was simple to use whilst being protected against the thousands of daily operators that pass through the station.<\/p>\n<p>Armagard, specialists in outdoor digital signage and local to the Birmingham Area, had the perfect solution for them with a custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/lcd-enclosure\/portrait-flat-panel-enclosure.html\" title=\"Portrait flat panel enclosure\">portrait flat panel enclosure<\/a> that included touch screen capabilities, and could provide information quite literally at the fingertips of those who needed it.<\/p>\n<h2>Armagard\u2019s Transport Digital Signage<\/h2>\n<p>Armagard delivered 8 portrait units in total. Each enclosure was built to a \u2018base specification\u2019 and split across two 55\u201d and six 32\u201d enclosures. In addition, each enclosure included an anti-reflective window with a capacitive touchscreen foil and finished in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/custom-enclosures.html\" title=\"Armagard custom enclosures\">custom enclosure<\/a> glossy white that matched the stations interior.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2463\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2463\" style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/new-street-armagard-enclosure.jpg\" alt=\"new street armagard enclosure\" width=\"435\" height=\"309\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/new-street-armagard-enclosure.jpg 435w, https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/new-street-armagard-enclosure-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2463\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Armagard\u2019s 55\u201d Portrait Enclosure with Touch Screen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In keeping with the latest concept of the station, light, modern and futuristic, the enclosures were designed to fit the sleek new look of the premises, and would be situated in key areas around the building to maximize on commuter engagement and traffic flow.

In this example, the large volume of commuters passing through New Street meant that a quality and durable solution was needed for it to be durable and hardwearing for its many operators.<\/p>\n<h3>Built to Bespoke<\/h3>\n<p>When a standard unit isn\u2019t suitable, Armagard offer a custom enclosure design service to develop a specialised solution for the customer. This flexibility from Armagard allowed Network Rail to specify the enclosure that would match the stations aesthetic and in the sizes they need.<\/p>\n<h3>Local and Global<\/h3>\n<p>Birmingham New Street lays only seven miles away from Armagard\u2019s headquarters, so in this case, location was a positive factor that worked in our favour. However, Armagard remains a truly global company and has provided its transport digital signage solutions for many installations across the world (below), including a metro station in Sweden, a bus shelter in Poland and the Emirates cable car \u2018Skyline\u2019 in London.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2468\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/transport-enclosures.jpg\" alt=\"Transport Enclosures\" width=\"600\" height=\"143\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/transport-enclosures.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/transport-enclosures-300x71.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Armagard Enclosures in transport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>2015 and Beyond&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>Using Armagards\u2019 protective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/products\/touch-screen\/\" title=\"Touch screen enclosures\">touch screen enclosures<\/a> for their information displays, Network Rail can now provide commuters with a secure transport digital signage solution for finding train times and platforms at the \u00a3600 million redevelopment of Birmingham New Street Station.<\/p>\n<p>However, with phase 2 not planned to finish until 2015, Birmingham New Street is still only half done, but with Network Rail presenting information in this way it has taken the station to the next level of interaction with its customers, and has given the station a much needed step into the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using Armagards protective touch screen enclosures for their information displays, Network Rail can now provide commuters with a secure transport digital signage solution for finding train times and platforms at the \u00a3600 million redevelopment of Birmingham\u2019s New Street Station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2457,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[309,308],"class_list":["post-2452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-signage","tag-indoor-digital-signage","tag-transport-digital-signage"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why Transport Digital Signage was updated at Birmingham\u2019s New Street Station - Armagard UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Looking for a touchscreen display solution in your transport area?
