Industrial design studio PriestmanGoode has created the interiors for a fleet of trains in Canada, which have a focus on accessible design.
The London-based studio designed the interiors for a fleet of trains called Corridor that is run by rail transport company VIA Rail Canada.
PriestmanGoode included Canadian maple leaf graphic in the livery for Corridor trains
Corridor trains will travel through the Quebec City ? Windsor corridor, a route that spans one of Canada's most industrial regions.
Described by PriestmanGoode as "barrier-free", the inside of each train is intended to be an accessible environment for all passengers, with comfortable seats and spacious footwells.
The Corridor fleet will travel between Quebec City and Windsor in Canada Key design elements include five mobility aid spaces and onboard wheelchair lifts.
Corridor trains also feature clear wayfinding devices in each carriage, such as glowing overhead screens and clearly signposted seat numbers listed on the top lip of each chair.
The interiors are designed to be accessible
Information is also presented in braille for blind and partially sighted passengers.
A grey colour palette is combined with a Canadian maple hue to give the interior a touch of warmth, used in different shades on ceilings, carpets and seats.
Charging units can be found by each seat
Train seats in both business and economy class are fitted with headrests and armrests, as well as coat hooks, tables and charging units.
