Night Riviera Sleeper officially relaunched
First Great Western has officially relaunched its Night Riviera Sleeper service which runs between Penzance and London Paddington following the completion of a £2 million investment.
Upgrading 18 carriages in total, this investment will provide an improved environment on board for both passengers and staff where new colour schemes and lighting has been introduced to create a more relaxed atmosphere.
Toilets have been upgraded and fixtures and fittings, such as carpets, taps, blinds and coat hangers have also been replaced. New bed linen, towels and toiletry packs have been provided.
The seated coaches on the train have also been comprehensively refreshed with reclining seats and gentle lighting throughout. Branded the Night Riviera Sleeper the exterior has also been repainted to reflect the new corporate branding now introduced across all of First Great Western’s rolling stock.
The interior design is the work of Michael Rodber, who has worked for Porsche and Eurostar and is responsible for First Great Western’s new look fleet of high speed trains and the West Country regional fleet.
