    History

    [edit]

    The first 221 series trains were introduced from the start of the revised timetable in March 1989.[2]

    The 221 series received the Laurel Prize in 1990.[5]

    Refurbishment

    [edit]
    The first refurbished set, K12, on a test run in December 2012

    From December 2012, a programme of refurbishment started, which will ultimately cover the entire fleet of 474 vehicles.[6] Interior improvements include new universal access toilets, provision of wheelchair spaces, and flip-up seating next to the doorways.[6] The first refurbished set, 4-car set K12, was returned to revenue service on 11 January 2013.[7]
