Part of our range of home furnishings made from authentic moquette fabric from the golden days of steam, this 40cm cushion features the design 'Bournemouth Blue' which could be found in rail rolling stock the length of the country in the last century and still features in many preserved coaches found in traffic at heritage steam railways to this day.  

Featuring a plush duck feather inner and a hidden zip, this item stands out as something special in a home setting.  This item is made from transport grade material and is therefore extremely hard-wearing and resistant to spills and stains.  By its nature, moquette is a heavy fabric with a wonderfully tactile texture that has to be felt to be believed.

Design/Colour: Bournemouth Blue.
Outer Material: Transport grade moquette consisting of a wool/nylon blend.
Inner Material: Duck feather (synthetic inner available upon request).

About the Design
In 1967 the line to Southampton and Bournemouth was electrified, and a fleet of existing coaches was rebuilt to provide the new services. Internally they were given a more modern appearance by the widespread use of Formica panelling, and by a new design of fabric, featuring a blue/green check pattern.

This design was simultaneously introduced on the also new Mark 2 locomotive hauled coaches which were being built at the time, and went on to last as a standard fitment throughout the life of British Rail, only being superseded by the new designs which accompanied sectorisation.
