Flexible travel

The team developed concepts to provoke debate about how train interiors of the future should be designed. At the core of each of these concepts is flexibility, providing an environment that effectively adapts to different passenger needs.

The designs feature adjustable seating, fold-out space for laptops and standing-desk spaces. Critically, these spaces can provide high-capacity seating but also be sold as expanded workspaces during off-peak travel times, championing a new flexible approach to work.

Addressing consumers’ heightened anxieties around existing train environments, the concept also demonstrates the installation of permanent hand sanitiser dispensers, antimicrobial finishes, and touchless doors.
