At Seymourpowell, Andy Sykes was Lead Rail Designer throughout a groundbreaking research-led multi-year design partnership supporting the UK’s largest rolling stock owner to make the most of their fleets around the country.


This included site visits, research trips, collating and presenting findings, creating innovative proposals, mock-ups and 3D development.


  • WEST COAST - Radical overhaul of Angel’s flagship Pendolino CL390 fleet. 

  • SCOTRAIL - Proposals for CL156 for urban and scenic services.

  • GREAT WESTERN - Urban, suburban and long-distance designs for HST, CL150, 153, 165 & 166

  • NORTHERN - Transforming the CL158 for future flexibility.


Andy presented designs to franchise bidders, at Rail Interiors International in Prague and at UK events supporting Angel's stakeholder engagement.
