The Network SouthEast connection

Blue Blaze is the familiar British Rail moquette associated with Network SouthEast, launched in 1986. Its bright blue ground, turquoise lines and dark purple diagonal stripes became part of everyday railway life during the transition from older slam-door trains to a new generation of rolling stock.

For enthusiasts, it recalls a particular chapter of British Rail. For former passengers, it may bring back school, work, friends and days out. Read more about the era and Marcus’s personal connection to Chris Green in our Blue Blaze cushion story.

Moquette’s dense woven pile was developed for the frequent use of transport seating. Its tactile surface and hard-wearing character make it a practical material for everyday use.
