Refurbishment of Electrostar Trains
A £100 million project to refurbish over 300 Electrostar trains used across the Govia Thameslink (GTR) network has been completed.
The project, which took five years to finish, is believed to be the largest fleet upgrade in modern times. What's unusual about this project is that all the work was carried out in-house by GTR staff at the Selhurst depot.
- The train builder: Bombardier (now Alstom)
- The train owners: Porterbrook
- The train operator: GTR
- The maintenance company
By bringing the job in-house, GTR was able to oversee the entire process without relying on a third-party refurbishment company.
No train was sent off-site during the refurbishment process.
