As part of the Access For All Scheme, Network Rail have been upgrading stations around the country. To increase public safety, many footbridges have been refurbished or new bridges installed.

Waux have assisted with many AfA Footbridge projects, from new build Sandall Beat Footbridge to Reston Station Footbridge upgrade.

Its huge benefits including a customizable front edge, incredible load capacity and simple installation technique, are revolutionizing footbridges all over the UK.
