Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of Future Rail.

In our cover story this issue, we take a look at the circular economy of the railway sector. Changing best practice in station design and using recycled materials in construction are just some of the methods in play – we find out what else the industry is doing to improve sustainability.

Elsewhere, we also consider cybersecurity in rail. What have recent rail cybersecurity breaches revealed about vulnerabilities of the railway sector? We also find out some of the latest technology being used to improve the seasonal menace that is rail adhesion.

As well as all of this, we profile some recent projects, including the effort to make Stockholm Central Station a greener, community-centric space; the final major project in London's Olympic Legacy plan, and the redevelopment of the Camp Hill Line.

For all this and the latest rail industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData, read on. You can also follow us @FutureRail_Mag.
