The California High-Speed Rail Authority has released preliminary interior design renderings for the seating of its future trains.
The Authority states that it is considering multiple seating options for its high-speed rail passenger service. Its current designs include options for Premium, Cocoon, Compartment and Comfort arrangements.

Earlier this month, the California High-Speed Rail Authority also released renderings for the onboard amenities.
Furthermore, the Authority has presented designs for its accessibility features, including accessible seating and restrooms.
The new high-speed electric trains will be manufactured by Alstom or Siemens, who were announced as the shortlisted bidders earlier this year.
This purchase is supported by a grant for nearly 3.1 billion USD in federal funding for the high-speed project.
Complete testing of the electrified high-speed system is expected by 2028, with the high-speed trains scheduled to enter service by the end of the decade.
