Avanti West Coast services to be nationalised from March

"For years, we've heard stories of Avanti underperforming, with passengers left paying the price. Enough is enough."

— Heidi Alexander , Politician

"For years, people have been expected to put up with Avanti's cancellations, delays, overcrowding, and a service that has failed them time and time again."

— Andy Burnham , Politician

"We're proud of what we've achieved over the last six years – from refurbishing our Pendolino fleet and introducing our new Evero trains to running more services than ever before."

— Andy Mellors , Executive
