Wider than conventional Swedish trains at 3450mm, Regina includes a 3+2 seating arrangement which increases train capacity by 25% to 294 seats in the three-car version.
"Thanks to their comfort and proven reliability, the Regina trains are high appreciated by our passengers," says Mr Lars Backström, Västtrafik's managing director. "As our region continues to experience strong passenger growth, we want to meet this demand with more of this type of train."
