Did you know?

  • First-class passengers travelling in a Renaissance car enjoy free snacks and beverages.
  • The galley equipment used in Renaissance cars were part of a set. In fact, many pieces of equipment still bear the logo of the UK rail company that originally ordered these cars... only to cancel the purchase later.
