Southern's entire Electrostar fleet has been refurbished with new features, including phone-charging points and improved wifi.

A £100m project has refurbished over 300 London commuter trains, ensuring they remain operational for another 15 years.

The project, which took five years to complete, was celebrated at Southern's Selhurst depot in south London, with the final train due to return to service.

The refurbished trains will continue to operate in and out of Victoria station, including the Gatwick Express.
