Train Operating Company Greater Anglia is giving people a chance to see what their new trains will look like with the help of Virtual Reality.
The new trains will start to come into service in 2019.
In the meantime, people are being invited to stations across their network to head inside one of the new trains via a virtual reality headset.
The two new trains – The Bombardier and Two Stadlers will be in the virtual world for everyone to see.
The Bombardier will replace the commuter trains from London Liverpool Street from Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridge and Ipswich. The Stadlers will replace trains on the Intercity, Stansted Express and rural lines.
Everyone will be able to see inside, including the fit and finish.
Why not walk up to the bistro on board the intercity trains.
