HS2's Class 895 trains, developed by Hitachi and Alstom, have showcased an initial concept focusing on layout and usability. During the mock-up reveal, aspects such as carriage layout, legroom, and facilities like toilets were tested by participants. The choice of greyscale mock-ups aimed to minimize distractions from color debates that often derail design discussions. Off-the-shelf seating was employed in the mock-ups for initial testing before finalizing the actual seat design. This stage allows designers to address potential design issues early in the process, ensuring a smoother transition to detailed design work.
