- #26 • The Great Western Railway was built by one of the greatest engineers of our time. • The last few years have seen the largest modernisation of the railway since Brunel’s time. • While this work has been taking place we have been ensuring we keep our customers moving. • Promoting the benefits and improvements customers will see as a result of this work. • Now we are starting to deliver those benefits.
- #27 • Heart of the modernisation is the transformation of our train fleet. • Every part of the GWR network will see new or more modern trains. • Bringing much needed capacity and greater comfort for customers. • Our fleet from one of the oldest in the UK to one of the youngest. • 138 new trains, that’s 605 carriages. • Over 70000 seats on our trains will be on brand new trains.
