The collaboration with Avanti West Coast brought GFG Rail to work for the complete refurbishment of the Avanti fleet, specifically the Alstom Pendolino, Bombardier Voyager and Hitachi AT300. The refurbishment of the Alstom Pendolino concentrated on all interior areas, from saloons to vestibules, to toilets, focusing on the best possible re-use of existing parts with a new color and trim. New seat styles were developed and all the work aimed at recreating a feeling inspired by the new Avanti corporate image. Goal of the project was to modernize the fleet with specific, well-thought interventions, enhancing passenger experience.
