    When the Regina trains had reached just over half of their expected service life, the lessees and Transitio faced a dilemma familiar to many in the industry: refurbish them or start planning for replacement? The answer turned out to be neither \u2013 it was something entirely different.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Jan Eriksson is responsible for the Regina fleet at Transitio and has followed the project from day one. He describes how it all took shape.<\/p>

    \u2013 The lessees have long been satisfied with the Regina fleet. The trains are reliable in service, maintain a high level of quality and perform well in operation. We had planned a standard refurbishment, but when we sat down and listened to their needs, we started to rethink our approach.<\/p>

    \u2013 In discussions with the lessees involved, we identified new needs and requests, many of them related to increased comfort and a more modern feel. These included, for example, modernised interiors, the replacement of existing lighting with LED lighting, and upgraded onboard technology.<\/p>

    \u2013 Combined with the vehicles\u2019 high underlying quality, this led us to consider a more comprehensive approach. We decided to take a holistic approach and create a package that we called the Mid-Life Refurbishment, says Jan Eriksson.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    During the project, two major sub-projects were also integrated into the Mid-Life package. One concerns PIS (the Passenger Information System), which manages communication with passengers on board. The other is ETCS \u2013 the train\u2019s signalling system, which handles communication between the vehicle and traffic control and, in practice, determines whether the trains are permitted to operate.<\/p>

    \u2013 Bringing together so many refurbishment needs under one umbrella has produced very good results, with minimal downtime. Once a train is brought in for servicing, we carry out all the measures at the same time. It takes a little longer per vehicle, but that is nothing compared with the downtime it would have required if the work had been carried out separately, says Jan Eriksson.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The result is more comprehensive than the term \u201crefurbishment\u201d might suggest. When a Regina train leaves the workshop after the Mid-Life project, it looks different \u2013 and feels different.<\/p>

    Externally, the vehicles receive a new paint finish. Inside, passengers are welcomed by more comfortable lighting, improved internet connectivity and a fresher environment. In the driver\u2019s cab, the driver\u2019s seat is replaced, new microphones are installed, and modernised systems make everyday work easier for drivers and enhance safety in service.<\/p>

    \u2013 F\u00f6r dig som resen\u00e4r handlar det om att kliva p\u00e5 ett t\u00e5g som k\u00e4nns nytt. Och f\u00f6r hyrestagarna handlar det om fordon med h\u00f6gre tillf\u00f6rlitlighet och drifts\u00e4kerhet, s\u00e4ger Jan Eriksson.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Men det finns ocks\u00e5 ett perspektiv som str\u00e4cker sig l\u00e4ngre \u00e4n resan i sig. Reginat\u00e5gens ber\u00e4knade livsl\u00e4ngd \u00e4r 30 \u00e5r och 9 miljoner kilometer. De f\u00f6rsta fordonen n\u00e5r den gr\u00e4nsen runt 2030 \u2013 men nu pekar allt p\u00e5 att de kommer att rulla betydligt l\u00e4ngre \u00e4n s\u00e5.<\/p>

    \u2013 Att k\u00f6pa nya t\u00e5g \u00e4r extremt tidskr\u00e4vande, kostsamt och komplext. Det tar l\u00e5ng tid, och n\u00e4r nya fordon ska integreras i befintliga system uppst\u00e5r alltid en period av os\u00e4kerhet och potentiella driftst\u00f6rningar. Kan vi ist\u00e4llet f\u00f6rl\u00e4nga livsl\u00e4ngden p\u00e5 fordon som redan fungerar v\u00e4l, \u00e4r det en vinst p\u00e5 alla plan, inte minst ur ett klimatperspektiv s\u00e4ger Jan Eriksson.<\/p>

    Det f\u00f6rsta fordonet rullade in f\u00f6r \u201dMidlife-upprustning\u201d \u00e5r 2021. Idag har 28 av flottans 59 fordon genomg\u00e5tt upprustningen och rullar nu i trafiken \u2013 som n\u00e4stan nya t\u00e5g. Samtliga ska vara rustade senast 2029.<\/p>
