ScotRail unveiled the first of 40 new-look trains as part of a £14 million (19 million euros) modernisation project. The new trains will deliver improved seating, better lighting, accessibility enhancements and at-seat power sockets for customers.
The two-carriage Class 158 trains will be painted in ScotRail’s ‘Saltire’ livery and receive revamped interiors including modern carpets, finishes and toilets. The 137-seat trains will also be fitted with new CCTV systems and automated passenger-counting systems.
The fleet is being upgraded with Scotland’s scenic railways in mind, with seats aligned alongside windows to offer panoramic views on the country’s most picturesque routes. The refurbishment project is being funded by ScotRail, and jointly managed by Porterbrook.
