Watch how it takes 500 people and 10,000 sponges to clean Northern's fleet of trains
has released a video highlighting the monumental task its team of 500 train presentation operatives have to keep its fleet of 345 trains clean and tidy. It comes as part of an appeal to customers to take their rubbish with them when they leave the train. 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.
Richard Holt, head of train presentation for Northern, said: “Some of the cleaning we undertake is wholly understandable given the natural wear and tear of thousands of people using our trains every day. But things like chewing gum on seats and an excess of litter are just two examples of avoidable issues my team has to face.
