Description

Of the more modern day moquette designs, British Rail's Blue Blaze will be instantly associated with the BR mega-region, known as Network SouthEast (NSE). It covered an area stretching from King's Lynn in Norfolk to Exeter in Devon - even the Isle of Wight & London's Waterloo & City line. Over 900 stations sported the rather patriotic NSE livery & welcomed trains fitted with this seat moquette, which was applied to trains in their Second Class compartments. Blues - a blaze of blues, in fact - & reminiscent of a toothpaste, it began being used in 1986 & was still on seats until 2017. The sheer size of the Network SouthEast region means Blue Blaze was used on more trains than any other moquette in history. It was popular for a reason - durable, ageless, utterly pleasing on the eye - & it could adorn your home too. Cushions are a great way to show off your transport fascination in a really subtle way. We stock a variety of styles to add a touch of nostalgia to any home colour scheme - & being cushions, when you change your room, you can change your cushions! Our home furnishings are beautifully finished with high quality zips & intricate stitching to stand the test of time. We provide a duck feather inner & the cushions are 40cm x 40cm.
