The new project at Blackfriars is a really innovative way to combine energy saving measures with improvements to the railway.
Britain has a lot of work to do to catch up with the rest of Europe on solar power generation, and the fact that this will help power the station, as well as cutting carbon, means it will quickly reclaim the upfront costs.
It is also a sign that the rail industry is stepping into the future, and embracing new technology to improve services.
Passengers will be thankful for the extra trains and seats and operators can save money and take part in something revolutionary.
The largest solar bridge in the world! Even if this is not a hard title to earn (there is only one other bridge with solar panels), it is still a project that we can be truly proud of.
