Britain's Biggest Trains Refurbishment

Southern's entire Electrostar fleet has been refurbished with added features such as phone-charging points and improved wifi.

A £100m project has refurbished over 300 London commuter trains operating in and out of Victoria station, extending their lifespan by 15 years.

The five-year project was celebrated at Southern's Selhurst depot in south London, with the last of the 304 "Electrostar" trains returning to service.

The project ensures the trains will keep running for another 15 years.

The refurbished trains are also used to operate the Gatwick Express.
