The exterior and cab front design produced by Design Triangle for Hong Kong’s Airport Express and Tung Chung line trainsets is to be adopted for the refurbishment of MTRC’s existing fleet. Involving 759 EMU cars, the programme is scheduled for completion in 2001 (RG 12.96 p786).
SNCF’s blue and grey TER livery introduced with the prototype regional diesel trainset (RG 5.97 p288) was developed by MBD Design, following the award of a contract by competitive tender and MBD’s earlier work on the train design. The logo of the région which has purchased the rolling stock will be incorporated, displayed beside the entrance doors.
Victoria Public Transport Corp has awarded a two-year EMU refurbishment contract valued at over A$6m to Goninan. At least 10 three-car units are to be refurbished each year at Bendigo workshops north of Melbourne, operated by Goninan since February 1996.
