North East and Yorkshire routes see completion of £9m rail refurbishment

Rail operator Grand Central has announced that the refurbishment of its Adelante trains for its North East and West Riding routes has been completed.

The Adelante fleet has undergone a two-year refurbishment programme, including installation of new interiors, toilets and baby changing facilities.

Additional improvements include updated catering facilities, LED lighting and power sockets for charging mobile phones, laptops and other electrical devices.

Part of the company’s ongoing multi-million pound investment programme, the fleet refurbishment aims to enhance customer experience on board and complements the firm’s work at stations across the North East and Yorkshire.

Dave Hatfield, fleet director at Grand Central, commented: “We are thrilled that our major Adelante fleet refurbishment programme is now complete. It has transformed our trains and brought them right up to date, with a modern and stylish fleet that is fully fit for the future.

“At Grand Central, we are committed to offering the best possible customer experience and listening to the improvements our customers would like to see.

“Thanks to our refurbishment, passengers can enjoy a comfortable, relaxing experience while travelling with us.”
