    Biography
    Jonathan Sothcott worked for DCA Design Consultants. He designed the moquette fabric for the 1990 tube stock. Sothcott obtained a BA degree in Industrial Design. His work at DCA was mainly connected with rolling stock design and included the exterior design of the BR Class 91 loco, 1990 tube stock and Eurotunnel's Shuttle locomotive. Sothcott also worked on the interior design of New South Wales' Tangara train and the interior refurbishment and fabric design of LUL's Metropolitan line trains, and the interior and fabric design of the BR/LUL Crossrail train. His moquette designs were developed using a deluxe paint programme on a graphics computer which can represent on screen every tuft of the moquette fabric allowing it to be translated into production by the manufacturer.
