To address the need for a more stimulating station environment, I conceptualised a library service that would offer passengers an enriching alternative to passive activities like scrolling through social media. The library was designed to be a welcoming and interactive space, encouraging passengers to pick up a book and immerse themselves in a positive and educational experience while waiting for their train.

The library wasn’t just about books; it was designed as a museum-like space that told the story of the railways in the United Kingdom. Super-graphics adorned the walls, illustrating the rich history and significance of the rail industry. This approach transformed the library into an immersive environment, where passengers could learn about the past while engaging with the present, making their time at the station more meaningful.

To further enhance the experience, the brand identity of the library drew inspiration from the old National Railway branding. This choice was intentional, evoking nostalgia and a deep connection to the heritage of British railways. The vintage-inspired design not only created a visually cohesive space but also reinforced the idea of the station as a cultural and historical hub, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.
