NR SE have stated that they are introducing water fountains at CHX and will be rolling them out across their managed stations.

An excellent initiative and will help reduce the ridiculous amount of waste caused by single use plastic bottles.
Our drinking fountain provision in this country is a disgrace compared to say Australia or even the US and this is a step in the right direction.
Don't even get me started on the lack of them at our airports.

Users of some of the country’s largest railway stations will soon be able to benefit from the introduction of free drinking water facilities, Network Rail has announced.
The free drinking water initiative, which seeks to encourage station users to refill their own multiple use water bottles, forms part of Network Rail’s wider ambitions to reduce the impact of plastic waste at its stations.
The scheme will begin with the trial installation of a new water fountain at London Charing Cross by the end of March. Learnings from the trial will inform a full rollout of free drinking water facilities across all Network Rail’s managed stations later in the year with fountains installed where it is practical and feasible to do so.
The new facilities will provide free drinking water on the go for the millions of people who use Network Rail managed stations annually, improving station user experience...
