A train operating company (TOC) is leading the way in removing harmful pollutants from the air and, therefore, improving the travelling experience of its customers. South Western Railway (SWR) is leading the way in the use of new technology to improve the environment in stations as it has become the first TOC to install a Pluvo air-purifying totem at one of its stations.
The new installation, a first for the rail industry, will not only help improve the environment but will also help the company become a more sustainable train operator. Pluvo is a UK-based air filtration technology start-up company. It is a leading innovator in clean-air technology and has formed an important partnership with SWR. The new Pluvo Column has been installed on platform four at Salisbury station, one of the busiest stations in south west England.
