Trueform was asked to provide a design and build service to improve facilities for passengers using the new Deansgate tramstop on the Metrolink tram service in Greater Manchester. The brief was to design a contemporary architectural canopy to shelter passengers and deliver information services.
Trueform designed, manufactured and installed a series of elegant 'gullwing' style architectural canopies, incorporating the following elements and features:
Real Time Passenger Information
Illuminated advertising displays
Elegant laminated glass roof canopy structure
Bespoke printed glass leaf design
With a very high quality of design and finishing, the canopies provide a sophisticated, contemporary waiting environment for the travelling public.
Trueform has provided bespoke shelters, canopies and walkways for major cities and transport authorities across the rail, light rail, bus and BRT networks throughout the UK and overseas for many years.
