200 Years of Transport Textiles: Avanti West Coast Voyager fleet, 2020
As we approach our two hundred year anniversary in transport textiles, we're taking a look back at some of the most unique, exciting and innovative fabrics created by Camira throughout the decades.
The second in our series is the bespoke moquette created for the Avanti West Coast Voyager fleet when taken over by Bombardier from Virgin in 2019. Nominated by Honor Clough, Area Business Manager, Rail UK & Western Europe, and now featured across all 20 Voyager trains, this striking fabric was a key element of the interior's brand-new look and feel.
"The fabric is a truly modern twist on moquette." Honor Clough, Camira

"The trains have a new lease of life." Adrian Bullock, Avanti

The 20 Voyagers operate over the non-electrified sections of the West Coast Main Line in addition to running from London to Scotland, via the West Midlands. They will remain in service until 2022 when Avanti West Coast will introduce a fleet of new Hitachi Class 805 and 807 trains.
