FUTURE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Having been up & down to London these past weeks traveling on First Great Western trains and barely enjoying the experience this is one of the most inspired alternatives I have seen being proposed for the British rail network.... & even more inspired is that this design really does look at feel iconically "British"!

London design studio Priestmangoode has just unveiled their concept for the future of high-speed rail travel in the U.K. The Mercury is an ambitiously beautiful 'double-decker' solution with a proposed high-speed of 225mph, exciting interior and responsible manufacturing and environmental credentials that has been pitched to the U.K Government as a realistic and urgently needed form of low-carbon and sustainable transport.

Paul Priestman, renowned for his design of the Virgin Pendolino train is passionate about British design and showcasing the best of British design in the way that iconic brands such as Concorde & Rolls Royce have done so globally.
