| HS2 passengers could order Amazon packages to be delivered to their seat, a train manufacturer has claimed
Bombardier Transportation, which is bidding to win a £2.75 billion contract to build the high-speed trains in a joint venture with Hitachi Rail, is developing technology which would enable click-and-collect services on board.Martin Rennoldson, sales director at Bombardier, said the 225mph trains would be “very convenient and very passenger-centric”.
He told the Press Association: “You could pre-order your coffee or sandwich. It could be that you pre-order and arrange to collect your Amazon parcels. “The train would enable lots of things, so we’d certainly work with the operator to develop the wider passenger experience.”He added: “The journey that (passengers) take on high-speed rail could be a very productive period for them, not only work-wise but for their private life, shopping and comfort.
”Amazon customers who do not want items posted to their home because they will not fit through their letterbox can currently arrange to collect them from lockers, Post Office branches or shops.Eastbourne JWD Haulage has been servicing the HS2 contract by delivering specialised engineering material to site.
