Last week, we went out to Bristol Temple Meads station because, in the coming months, Connected Places Catapult will support Therapy Box and selected organisations as part of the Station Innovation Zone —a multi-million-pound programme hosted at Bristol Temple Meads in partnership with Network Rail. We hope to pilot a location-specific version of Scene & Heard Pro that will help rail travellers who need AAC to communicate confidently during their journey. You can read more about our plans and those of other organisations.
Early next year, three will be selected to move forward to live trials with their ideas being tested at the station. This initiative breaks down barriers to innovation, creating a platform where rail technology innovators, buyers, and investors can collaborate to shape the stations of tomorrow. The programme has already supported 20 innovators, with 6 conducting trials over the past two years.
