Case Study: Axminster Carpets on the TransPennine Express
Axminster Carpets was recently involved in producing a carpet for all 51 three-car Class 185 trains in the TransPennine Express fleet that were originally manufactured in 2005/06. These Siemens DMUs underwent a major refurbishment in 2017/18. Axminster Carpets collaborated with DGDESIGN in Derby to create a carpet that had a fresh, modern feel with a stylish geometric pattern. The choice of blue is the perfect addition to the leather seats in first class.
Anita Brennan, Head of Customer Proposition for TransPennine Express, said:
“We are delighted to have worked with Axminster Carpets on the refurbishment of our trains. The upgrade has completely changed the look and feel of what we can offer to our customers who travel across the North of England and Scotland with us. The Axminster carpets are a big part of this, and we’re pleased to have supported them to help create something special.”
Say hello at Stand B16, 14–16 May NEC, Birmingham.
