Refurbishment of Electrostar Trains
A £100 million project to refurbish over 300 Electrostar trains has been completed by Govia Thameslink (GTR) staff at the Selhurst depot.
The project, which took five years to complete, is believed to be the largest fleet upgrade in modern times and was carried out entirely in-house by GTR staff.
- GTR operates trains under the Thameslink, Great Northern, Southern, and Gatwick Express names.
- The refurbishment process typically involves four main companies: the train builder, the train owners, the train operator, and the maintenance company.
No single train was sent off-site for refurbishment, with all work carried out at the Selhurst depot.
