The first refurbished Class 323 was in operation on the Glossop Line on Saturday November 9th. And very smart it looked too in its new Northern livery! The work has taken four months and has been carried out at Wolverton. Internally the train has had a complete repaint with new dark blue moquette seating. There is now a clear visual information system in each coach along with a new, access for all, toilet in the middle coach. Yesterday passengers were telling the guard they thought it was a new train! Unit 323/234 will be found on all routes worked by Class 323 trains. It is expected to take up to two years for the refurbishment to be completed on all 17 trains. We hope you will be able to sample the train soon and enjoy the improved ambience.
