Chiltern Railways is reportedly spending £800k to improve trains used on the High Wycombe and Aylesbury commuter routes by giving them a major refresh.
Work carried out to improve passenger’s commute includes a deep steam clean of the entire train and the replacement of all seat base covers. In addition they will also be improving the toilets, replacing any scratched windows making internal paint and panel repairs, repainting the cab front ends and replacing all window stickers.
To complete the overhaul the company will apply an anti graffiti coating to all internal panels which should ensure that the trains are kept smarter for longer.
Kate Marjoribanks, Engineering Director of Chiltern Railways said: “Our commuters travel with us every day and we want to make their time with us as pleasant as possible and provide the best experience we can. These improvements will keep our trains looking smarter for longer and we hope that passengers will see the difference on board.”
Currently, 22 trains have been through the refresh programme with all trains completed by the end of May.
