Fictive operator, Trans Polar Railways, operating throughout Europe, Scandinavia and Russia, has upgraded some of its BMPZ stock to bring it up to the same standards as the high speed sets used on the Northern Lights Express service, with this upgrade, a new livery has been adopted, this livery is similar to that used on the ICX and Orbis R300 sets.

with the new upgrade, passengers get airline seating, 3-abreast in first class, 4 abreast in second class, with each having headrest mounted video screens. First class seats are also spaced wider apart for more legroom, leather seats which recline electrically add to the luxury. Each row of seats have sliding curtains for extra privacy.
