Virgin Trains has completed its £40m programme of refurbishing its entire East Coast fleet.
The TOC has spent the last two years refurbishing its current fleet of 45 High Speed and Intercity 225 trains to improve passenger experience.
The programme forms part of Virgin's wider pledge to invest £140m to transform travel on the East Coast network since it assumed control of the franchise in March 2015. David Horne, Virgin Trains' managing director on the east coast, said: 'Since we launched services on the East Coast Main Line in 2015 we have committed more than £40m to improving our existing fleet, to give customers the best possible experience when they travel with us.
'It gives me great pleasure to announce that we have completed our refurbishment programme, and passed another milestone on our journey towards totally transforming travel for our customers on the east coast.'
