L.B. Foster’s Welcome Point has been shortlisted for the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Award

We are proud to announce that L.B. Foster’s Welcome Point innovation has been shortlisted for the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Award at the RIA RISE Awards 2025!

This recognition is a testament to our collaborative efforts with the Rail Delivery Group (RDG), train operating companies, accessibility organisations, and passenger advocacy groups to roll out the groundbreaking Welcome Points trial across the rail network.

By blending advanced technology with empathy and inclusivity, the Welcome Point goes beyond being a mere wayfinding tool. It stands as a transformative solution that sets new benchmarks for accessibility, usability, and passenger satisfaction. With a universally designed interface, cutting-edge functionality, and pioneering accessibility features, the Welcome Point redefines the meaning of a welcoming rail station, empowering passengers to navigate their journeys with confidence and independence.
