The huge operation to keep Northern's trains clean and today
500 train presentation operatives have to keep Northern's fleet of 345 trains clean and tidy. Each year, the team carries out 695,000 ‘carriage cleans’ and work their way through 32,759 microfibre cloths, 10,300 sponges, 1,724 litres of toilet cleaner and 2,265 litres of floor and surface cleaners. They also replenish some 26 million pieces of toilet tissue and 778 litres of hand soap.
