A TRACK-suit was created based on train seat prints from the UK.

Inspired by train seat prints all over the UK, a TRACK-suit is a unique design.

These images demonstrate the similarities between the recognisable patterns of carriage seats and the new clothing. They almost blend into each other.

Diversity’s Perri Kiely is seen modelling the bespoke outfit, which was designed by Christopher Raeburn’s sustainable fashion brand RÆBURN.

Trainline commissioned this eco-friendly outfit made from 100% organic cotton GOTS-certified – a material that can be recycled – and screen printed with water-based ink.

It’s hoped the unique leisurewear will inspire travellers to swap one plane or car journey to train travel in the next 12 months – after a study of 2,000 adults found being green is ‘important’ to them.

Christopher Raeburn, who is known known for reworking surplus fabrics to create his designs, said: “Every decision we make as a business is underpinned by the three Rs; remade, reduced and recycled.

“We hope our responsibly made, rail-inspired tracksuits encourage more people to make better choices for the environment.”

A new approach to sustainability 

The research also found 68 per cent of Gen Z aged between 18-24 consider living a sustainable lifestyle is a ‘badge of honour.’

Being a good citizen and living sustainably was more important than having a lot of money, going on holiday, or making progress in their careers.

Over half (18 to 30 years old) admit that they feel guilty for their negative environmental impact.

Two-thirds of them have made lifestyle changes to decrease their carbon footprint in just the past year.

This age group is proud to contribute to the environment at a mere 59 percent.

It also emerged, nine in 10 would be proud to switch to train travel, according to the OnePoll figures.

With 49 per cent already having switched to train travel from another mode of transport – for example plane or car – at least once in the last 12 months.

Social media and influencers have had an impact on 32 percent of all adults.

Perri Kiely, Diversity dance member and radio presenter, said: “Wherever I can, I aim to make small changes that will have a positive impact on the world around us.

“I’ve loved working on this campaign to encourage others to do the same, whether that’s choosing to travel by train or making more sustainable fashion choices.”

All proceeds from the TRACK suit, which can also be purchased, will go towards charity here.

, will go to the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) – with customers also able to claim a free digital railcard worth £70.
