A FREE water refill station is set to be installed at Warrington Central railway station.
Commuters will be able to refill their water bottles across some of Northern’s busiest stations to help cut down on plastic waste.
The new dispensers have been given the go ahead after a successful trial at Bolton and Castleford.
A total of 32 will be installed across the Northern network in the next few weeks. Each water dispenser has a hands-free sensor and will provide free chilled water.
Customers will be able to see how many times reusable bottles have been refilled thanks to a digital counter.
Chris Jackson, regional director at Northern, said: “We want to provide our customers with unlimited free water refills and help them to stay hydrated, cut down on plastic pollution and save money.
“Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and this is a benefit for them and the environment.”
Northern is working with key suppliers to reduce carbon emissions from the businesses supply chain as well as become efficient with its resources such as water, energy and fuel.
Other local stations to receive the dispensers are Newton Le Willows, Wigan Wallgate and Manchester Oxford Road.
