Virgin Trains announced the completion of its fleet refurbishment programme, which has seen a £40 million (EUR 46.7 million) investment by the company in its current fleet of 45 High Speed and InterCity 225 trains to improve the customer experience. All Virgin Trains on the east coast route have been refurbished, with £21 million spent on new interiors (EUR 24.5 million).
The refurbishment programme, which also includes new carpets and fittings, is part of a pledge Virgin Trains made when it started operating on the east coast. A total of 410 carriage interiors have been revamped and 24,427 seats replaced.
The completed refurbishment arrives ahead of the launch in 2018 of Virgin Trains’ new Azuma fleet. Set to be amongst the most advanced trains in the UK, the Virgin Azuma illustrates Virgin Trains’ continued pledge to enhance and transform the customer experience.
