New InterCity Carriages
The first of of our new InterCity carriages have entered service as of February 2024, with the remaining new carriages due to enter service in the months to follow.
They are single carriages and will make existing trains longer (5 car will become 6 car and so on) and as such are very similar to the existing vehicles.
These new carriages include a multipurpose area featuring 9 flip up seats, a standing area with hand rails and bicycle storage.
For more information on our new InterCity carriages please see our Projects and Investment section.
