Responses

  1. Has Avanti West Coast started using the Class 807 Evero to Blackpool North since they were introduced in service last year. And the Class 805 that have also entered service back in June last year.

  2. It’s about time the RMT and ASLEF got it into their heads that this is 2025 not 1975, all these strikes are doing nothing but forcing passengers into their cars or into long distance coach operators.
