We also installed a temporary first-class customer lounge in the station’s short-stay car park. This smart, 12 x 30m facility featured a curved Eclipse roof, and was linked to an additional 10 x 10m [temporary structure](https://www.glevents.co.uk/products/temporary-structures), enabling LNER to make the most of space available upon this irregularly shaped site. Elsewhere, a temporary queuing canopy was situated outside the station’s Waitrose outlet. This covered walkway was 3m wide and spanned 50m, linking to a 12 x 15m sheltered facility for service-users accessing replacement bus services. ![LNER Peterborough train station.

By taking a flexible approach, our project mangers were able to deliver a carefully planned solution that responded to the challenges of operating around high volume pedestrian and traffic movement; with swift build and dismantle operations that enabled continuity for both client and LNER’s service users alike. ## Featured products [Structures ](https://www.glevents.co.uk/products/temporary-structures) [Seating ](https://www.glevents.co.uk/products/tiered-seating) [ Back to overview ](https://www.glevents.co.uk/experience) Copy ## Related projects [ ![Hay Festival.
