Restoration of the signage at Richmond Station
Every now and then, a project comes along that’s a real pleasure to be part of — and the restoration of the signage at Richmond Station was exactly that.
Transport Signs was proud to work alongside Walker Construction and South Western Railway (SWR) on this sensitive and skilled refurbishment project.

How We Delivered
External Fascia
We were tasked with re-creating the original back-illuminated glass signage, to be installed within a beautifully fabricated new bronze fascia.
Following a detailed site survey and research into traditional methods, we hand sign-wrote new glass panels for the canopy – replicating the look and feel of the original signage as closely as possible.
High-Level 3D Letters
Our team fabricated and installed large bronze 3D letters reading RICHMOND STATION — fitted during night shifts following the façade cleaning.
A standout detail that now greets every visitor.
Booking Hall
During refurbishment, our client uncovered a fantastic surprise — several original back-painted glass signs hidden behind decades-old cladding.
We were asked to fabricate new hand-painted signs to match and complement the originals, updating wayfinding while preserving the character and heritage of the station interior.
Projects like these are a great reminder of how traditional sign-making skills still have a vital role in today’s built environment. The final result is something we’re incredibly proud of.
