Case Study<br />

Moor Street Station, Charcon EcoPave<br />

Built in 1909, the station was to be carefully and sympathetically refurbished in the style of a 1930’s<br />

station, with brickwork, colouring, signage, fixtures and fittings chosen to reflect the era.<br />

Now <strong>com</strong>plete and open to the public, it is operated by Chiltern Railways.<br />

More than 500 platform copings and almost 3,000m2 of 750x600x50mm EcoPave, both in a black<br />

fleck textured finish, were supplied to Hill Street Construction for installation on the three platforms<br />

of the old station and their approaches.<br />

Charcon’s EcoPave flag paving in addition to platform copings from Charcon’s specialist division, have<br />

been used to finish off the refurbished station to help restore it to its former glory.<br />
