More seats on busiest routes
The first of Virgins First Class Pendolino carriages, which have been converted to new standard, is now in service.
The train, which also became its major interior revitalized and a intense clean as part of the work, marks the first of the 21nine-car Pendolinos to have a carriage converted. Once completed, the project will generate an extra 5,500 standard class seats a day, a net increase of 2,100.
Converting these First Class carriages to standard allows Virgin to respond to passengers needs for more seats on busiest routes.
The work is taking place at Alstom’s depot in Oxley, Wolverhampton, with one train completed a week and all trains converted by September 2015.
After the nine-car trains have been upgraded, the remaining 35 eleven-car Pendolinos will also undergo the major interior refresh and a deep clean with the full Pendolino fleet completed by mid-2016.
