A new train livery has been unveiled that celebrates the ethnicity of employees and communities across the Avanti West Coast network.

The network has created a bespoke ‘Together We Roll’ wrap tapestry wrap which is brightly coloured.

The wrap was produced after an idea from frontline employees to represent and celebrate those who live and work along the network.

The tapestry was created by Baraka Carberry, whose artwork stretches across seven carriages of one of the new Evero trains.

Avanti chose to work with Baraka based on her passion and experience with heritage and culture. They wanted to celebrate lots of cultures and connect people through the bold artwork.

The project was underpinned by Avanti’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy, which will be launching soon, focusing on fairness and respect in the workplace.

“As a Black British artist, diversity and inclusion hold deep personal significance for me, making this project particularly meaningful. I envision it as a living, evolving artwork that has the potential to resonate with the public. My hope is that people will connect with the universal moments captured here and reflect on their own unique legacies.

“When we think of “legacy,” we often focus on grand, monumental achievements. However, I believe it’s the small, everyday moments—sounds, sights, and notes—that build the foundation for something much greater. True legacy evolves, growing and transcending to become something larger than life.”

“This project is an invitation to embrace diversity, honour intergenerational wisdom, and work together towards a thriving future. It celebrates the universal moments that connect us, while honouring our distinct perspectives. We are all icons, each contributing to a shared cultural legacy.”
