Leighton Buzzard train station introduces energy-generating walkways Two walkways made up of kinetic floor tiles at Leighton Buzzard train station will use energy from commuters’ footsteps to generate power. The aim is to engage visitors and to power two USB charging benches and a digital data screen. The data screen will show commuters their contribution and can host important messages. Central Bedfordshire Council has partnered with Ringway Jacobs, West Midlands Trains and technology provider Pavegen on the initiative. Funded by the Department of Transport through the £22.9M Adept Smart Places Live Labs Programme, the project also seeks to encourage other transport hubs to follow suit and go green.
