Network Rail has announced that they have installed a water fountain on the lower concourse of London Euston rail station.
The water fountain is now open for use from today (4th May 2018).
The free drinking water initiative is hoping to encourage station users to refill their reusable water bottles and hopes to also reduce the amount of plastic waste at Network Rail managed stations.
This plan is part of Network Rail's commitment to reducing their energy consumption by 18% and carbon emissions by 25% over the next five years.
What did the officials say?
Karen Hornby, head of performance and customer relationship for Network Rail, London North Western route said:
“Many of us try to make a difference by carrying a refillable bottle, although our good intentions are often thwarted by the lack of public drinking water fountains.
“Millions of people every year use our managed stations to travel, shop and eat, so this free service will make a difference to them and the environment by reducing single-use plastics.”
