Amey: Creating thriving communities through the rail estate

Railway properties, through strategic utilisation and partnerships, are instrumental in fostering thriving communities across the UK.

As the largest property management company and consultancy within the rail sector, AmeyTPT have worked alongside multiple clients and industry stakeholders to unlock the potential of station buildings, delivering innovative and complex projects, and embedding stations within the communities they serve.

The UK’s extensive railway network and stations have long been more than mere transit hubs. Historically, these spaces have demonstrated their ability to adapt and serve key roles in times of need, from the World Wars to the present day. Today, with a renewed focus on community engagement, these sites are experiencing a transformation, becoming catalysts for community development and social cohesion. This transformation has been facilitated by government initiatives from both the Scottish Government and the Department for Transport.

Our extensive knowledge of clients’ stations has enabled us to identify redundant or vacant space that has either no or marginal commercial potential, thereby creating a list of premises that can be made available for community benefit. By working with our clients and with the support of ACoRP, AmeyTPT guide community tenants from project inception to delivery navigating them through the complicated consents processes and legal frameworks on the way.
