Network Rail has completed a pilot scheme of zero carbon emissions engineering works at Royston Station.
The project, which Network Rail said is the first of its kind in Eastern England, used hybrid rail engineering vehicles operating solely in battery mode, welfare facilities powered by batteries, plus battery and solar-powered tower lighting throughout the site.
Engineers carried out overhead line equipment renewals through the station across four nights. Carbon-intensive, diesel-powered generators and rail equipment were not used during construction.
