Virgin Trains has unveiled the first of its newly refurbished trains as part of a £40m project to improve the customer experience.
All of Virgin’s trains on its east coast route are being given a makeover with new interiors.
A total of £21m has been earmarked to complete the refurbishment of the trains’ interiors, including adding leather seats to First Class, and new carpets and fittings throughout.
The refurbishment programme, which also includes a £16m investment in new diesel engines and the re-branding of the exterior of the trains, has been brought in ahead of the arrival of Virgin’s new fleet in 2018.
