The Metrolyte Seat was developed as a replacement seat for those in London Underground’s Central Line trains. It addressed many of the problems that were encountered with the original seat and was designed to meet more stringent fire test requirements.

Creactive developed a comfortable, long life upholstery system with good fire test performance (smoke and toxicity) supported on a light weight frame based on formed extrusions.

The seat weighs less than half the weight of the original, has only one configuration of replacable upholstery instead of five and is much easier to service and maintain.
