Switzerland’s South Eastern Railway (SOB) has taken delivery of the first of 10 coaches refurbished by Schindler Waggon AG using its Revvivo method (PP 8.96 p7). The interior assembled from prefabricated modules offers a bright and modern climate-controlled ambience, for around half the cost of a new vehicle.
Vignelli Associates has designed a colour scheme of caramel, beige and blue complemented by real wood veneers for the interiors of MkIII coaches operated in IC125 formations by Britain’s Great North Eastern Railway. Railcare is refurbishing 76 vehicles at Wolverton, undertaking toilet and buffet modifications and installing new carpets, tables and lighting.
