The £5 million "First of a Kind" (FOAK) competition, launched on 7 April 2025, aims to enhance the passenger #rail experience through cutting-edge technology. Funded by the government and managed by Innovate #UK, the competition focuses on accessibility, safety, #AI, and #sustainability. It supports projects that improve passenger experience, such as level boarding, AI-driven sustainability, and tools for reporting anti-social behaviour, particularly addressing issues like violence against women. The competition also aims to boost rail efficiency and reduce waste. Previous winners, like #Trains with Brains and One Big Circle, have already improved safety and efficiency on the #railways. Applications are open until 28 May 2025, with an online briefing on 8 April. The initiative supports economic growth and aims to make rail travel safer, more accessible, and reliable.
