You don’t get to meet your heroes everyday, but #TeamAlstom in Derby had the opportunity to welcome Francis Bourgeois for the @bbctravelshow and what a day it was! We had many firsts onsite including Francis’ first ride on a traverser, a nifty piece of equipment that moves trains from side to side, and a first ride on our London Northwestern Railway Class 730 Aventra train. Francis, you’re welcome back anytime 💙🚆

From Brussels ➡️ Paris! We’re proud to partner with Tous à Bord to support the #Paris2024 project for runners with reduced mobility. Runners, including our very own Sebastien De Rosso from #TeamAlstom Charleroi, will cross the finish line in under a week. Join us in cheering them on! 🎉

Happy Star Wars Day!

From hot summer days to cold winters - our new Flexity tram was put to the test to see if it could handle varying environmental changes from the climate chamber in Vienna, Austria. ☀️🌧️ In ten days, this tram for DVG Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft went through all of the weather extremes: 60 degrees with sunlight, wind speeds of up to 42 km/h, drizzle, -20 degrees Celsius and hours of snow flurries. The interior was also tested with electric blankets on the seats and artificially increased humidity. After a few optimisations, the tram will be able to travel reliably and energy-efficiently in any weather condition. #Trams #ClimateTesting #Environment

We’re going to extend the Citadis trams for Le Mans Métropole in France!🚊 From 32 to 44 metres, the extended trams will have two additional double doors on each side, to make it easier for passengers to get on and off, and allowing for a total capacity of 296 passengers. These energy-efficient trams will also incorporate air-conditioning systems that comply with the latest environmental regulations.

Happy International Women’s Day! We believe in creating opportunities for all members of #TeamAlstom and having a workforce that accurately represents the diverse communities we serve. That’s why we created Mind the Glass, our new global programme dedicated to removing barriers and supporting our colleagues, especially women, to reach their full potential. 🙌 #IWD24

Have you spotted the new Movia C30 metro trains in Sweden? The carriages, renowned for their robust regional design and are described as “straightforward and Scandinavian,” feature many delightful design touches. For instance, the ventilation holes under the windows incorporate playful elements such as the computer game character Pacman, crowns, hearts, and play symbols, offering charming details for commuters on the go. We’ll be supplying an additional 20 C30 metro trains on the existing contract for SL, to replace the older C20 trains for the Stockholm metro system. #MobilityByNature #Sweden #MetroDesign
