Avanti West Coast run the fastest trains out of London Euston to serve the UK’s biggest towns and cities along the West Coast Main Line, including London, Birmingham, Glasgow & Edinburgh to Blackpool North & Preston. Frequent services mean you can reach your destination safely and in next to no time with a choice of Standard, Standard Premium or First Class travel.
There are loads of benefits to travelling by train which come as standard. This includes free WiFi, a shop onboard and entertainment at no extra charge. If you’d prefer to watch the world go by in First, then expect roomier seats, food and drink served to your table and access to our First Class Lounges.
Wherever you’re going, you can trust us to get you there safely. Our Safe Travels Pledge gives you peace of mind that we’ve maximised space on all our trains and arranged seat reservations in line with local distancing guidelines. All of our coaches are cleaned regularly with a focus on key touchpoints during your journey, and deep cleans are carried out when the train is not in operation. We’re also encouraging contactless travel and face coverings are a must, unless exempt. When you travel with us, travel with confidence.
