High speed trains are becoming the need of the hour in a day to day busy schedule. Keeping this thing in mind, design studio, Pristmanngoode, has unveiled a high speed train concept for Londoners: The Mercury. With a view that a high speed train is what London desperately needs for a quick commute, Pristmanngoode takes the inspiration from the double-decker buses to design this double-decker train that features a flexible, open plan design allowing the onboard passengers to interact without compromising privacy.

Some of the peculiar features of Mercury train include tradition seats designed to incorporate in-transit entertainment systems in the private booth for families, private parties or business meetings, children’s play area and a luxury first class section with luxury lounge and bar mirroring the choice offered to air travelers. Mercury concept is 400m long, has an elongated nose section and its interior as well exterior design seems promising and will definitely lure the hoi polloi to travel by train yet again.
