A new lounge, that has been designed for Network Rail passengers using the assistance programme, has opened at Paddington station. TORMAX was contracted to work with Saper Glass to manufacture and install an automatic, single sliding door system, giving clear and easy access into the Assisted Travel Lounge (ATL).
Powered by the in-house designed TORMAX iMotion 2202 door drive, smooth and reliable operation is assured thanks to the innovative design of the high torque, synchronous motor that ensures rapid response to approaching foot traffic.
Featuring none of the parts that regularly wear out, such as gears and brushes, the iMotion motor offers a longer lifespan, with lower maintenance demands, than other similar door operators.
Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Paddington’s Grade I listed structure is one of Britain’s most historically significant railway stations. Appointed as main contractor, Consortia Group was responsible for delivering the new ATL, greatly improving accessibility within this major transport hub.
Situated next to the taxi rank on the station’s upper deck, the ATL provides a safe, convenient and accessible waiting room for passengers of restricted mobility. During opening hours, Network Rail’s Passenger Assistance team provide a customer ambassador to help individuals wanting to use the facility.
