• All 36 units in Southeastern’s Derby-built Electrostar fleet are getting a full mid-life refresh
• Enhancements include fully refurbished seating, handy at-seat power points and accessibility improvements for better journeys
Alstom, in collaboration with Southeastern and Eversholt Rail, is proud to announce that the first Class 376 Electrostar train to get a full interior and exterior makeover is now back in passenger service. The electric multiple units (EMUs) will offer a much better and more comfortable travel experience across Southeastern’s busy Metro routes that run between North Kent and South East London.
“The first Class 376 refurbishment marks a major achievement in working with Southeastern and Eversholt Rail in delivering a more modern fleet for passengers across South East London and Kent. At-seat power, amongst the other interior improvements, should make a real difference to the customers and it’s great to see the first upgraded unit back in service.” Steve Harvey - Alstom Services Director UK and Ireland.
Metro route customers will benefit from:
• Fully refreshed interiors with refurbished seating
• Convenient at-seat power and USB sockets for charging devices on the go
• Bright and energy-saving LED lighting throughout to create a more modern and welcoming environment
