Alstom to deliver major upgrade of Class 376 fleet with Southeastern and Eversholt Rail

Alstom, in collaboration with Southeastern and Eversholt Rail, announced a major refurbishment of the Class 376 Electrostar fleet.

This transformative programme will enhance customer comfort, improve operational efficiency and refresh a fleet that has been a cornerstone of Southeastern’s Metro services since its introduction in 2004.

Alstom will be specifically undertaking the engineering and providing all materials for both the interior refresh and installation of at-seat power throughout each train.

The work is getting underway at Southeastern’s Ashford Maintenance Centre with the first units to receive the new blue livery and LED lighting scheduled to be in customer service from the spring.

The interior refresh, which includes refurbished seats and a full re-paint, will start later in the summer at the Grove Park depot, with the first units due into customer service before the end of the year.

The Class 376 Electrostar fleet was built at Alstom’s Litchurch Lane Works in Derby, the only UK facility that designs, engineers, builds and tests trains for domestic and export markets.
