Birmingham station goes green

Friday, October 22, 2010

Our new Birmingham coach station has already gone down a storm with our customers. Now it's also been awarded an 'Excellent' rating under the BRE Environmental Assessment Method - the most widely used system for judging how environmentally friendly a building is.

Lots of recycled materials were used in the build. Now it's up and running, rainwater is harvested and used to flush the toilets and there's energy efficient lighting. What's more, the design, with a fully glazed concourse, means there's less need for lights in the first place.

As a final touch, we haven't put a car park for our people at the site - but we've given them all free public transport, to help make everyone's journey to work more environmentally friendly.
