EMR’s new fleet seat treat

East Midlands Railway is inviting customers to try out seats that will be fitted in its new fleet of Intercity trains.

The rail operator is creating displays at Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield stations, where people will be able to try them out.

Standard seats will be available at Derby on the footbridge and in Nottingham station’s booking hall, while First Class seats will be available to try at Sheffield station’s main concourse.

Lisa Angus, transition and projects director at EMR, said: “We are excited to showcase the new Aurora seats to customers and to allow them to experience first-hand how comfortable they are.

“It has taken a lot of work, but we are delighted with the seats, not only are they comfortable to sit in and look refined, but they are also easy to keep clean and include all the features passengers should expect from a new generation of trains.

“If you are passing through the station or in the area, feel free to pop in and see for yourself.”
