Euston Station Picnic Tables

Euston Station Picnic Tables – Fourteen Years On and Still Going Strong

These are the 32 FalcoBloc picnic tables Falco supplied to Euston Railway Station back in April 2008. Now fourteen years on, after continuous use all day every day within the capital, the picnic tables are in as good of a condition now as when they were first supplied! Each picnic table was repainted during lockdown to continue to protect each unit from weather and general wear and tear, enabling each picnic table to last another ten years and beyond! Back in 2008, when Network Rail was looking to upgrade the concourse outside Euston station, they approached Falco to develop a bespoke picnic table solution. Based on the original FalcoBloc range of seating, the new design for the main West Coast terminus was specially adapted to meet the needs of the travelling public. Falco’s street furniture design team took the popular FalcoBloc table and adapted it in conjunction with the requirements of Network Rail’s station management team. The solid and functional picnic table design provides a stylish and welcoming environment for travellers to the North and West. The image below shows the original fourteen year old FalcoBloc picnic tables, installed back in 2008, on a crisp January afternoon. Along with Euston station, Falco has also supplied picnic tables to many locations across the UK including Manchester United Football Club, Manchester City Football Club, Loughborough University, Middlesex University and Assured Guaranty Europe (next to the world famous ‘Gherkin’ in the heart of London).

Solar Powered FalcoPathfinder LED Demarcation Lights for River Lossie Cycle Path in Elgin!

Solar Powered FalcoPathfinder LED Demarcation Lights for River Lossie Cycle Path in Elgin!

Falco recently installed a run of 7km of FalcoPathfinder solar powered cycle path lights along the River Lossie cycle path in Elgin!!! The cycle path offers a much safer alternative to the A96 in terms of cycling from nearby Lhanbryde into Elgin and the addition of the new demarcation lights offers a more pleasurable journey for night time commuters as well as increased safety and reassurance. Parts of the route were already lit by street lighting from a nearby park and it was decided  that there was merit in lighting the rest of the route to further encourage use of the cycle path for cyclists and pedestrians at night. Through the staggered positioning of the lights at 10, 20 and 40m intervals on opposite sides of the path, cyclists can clearly see the edges of the route and red LED lights highlight potential hazards such as junctions. Frost warning lights situated at the start of new sections of the route highlight the need to take additional care should the temperature dip below +2°C. The FalcoPathfinder has also been recently installed at Queen's Park in Glasgow and Ridding Lane in London Borough of Ealing. For more information about the innovative FalcoParthfinder solar powered LED cycle path lights, please contact our helpful sales team on 01538 380080.
