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.
The trains are used across the GTR network, which includes Thameslink, Great Northern, Southern, and Gatwick Express.
Normally, train overhauls involve multiple companies, including the train builder, owner, operator, and maintenance company.
In this case, GTR decided to bring the job in-house, using their existing Selhurst depot to carry out the work.
The project was unusual in that all the work was carried out in-house by GTR staff rather than a third-party refurbishment company.
This approach allowed GTR to complete the project without sending a single train off-site.
Author's summary: GTR completes £100 million Electrostar train refurbishment project.
