I still don’t understand why Avanti West Coast have refurbished the Class 221 Voyagers even though they are due to be replaced by the Class 805 IETs that Avanti West Coast have ordered and are schedule to enter service from next year or in 2023. At least they are refurbishing the Class 390 Pendolinos. And have ordered the Class 807 that will mainly be used on London Euston-Glasgow Central, Edinburgh Waverley, Blackpool North and Liverpool Lime Street. Maybe the AWC Class 221 could probably be cascaded to CrossCountry. Or if not then perhaps they could be cascaded to Grand Central, Transport for Wales, ScotRail, Transpennine Express, Great Western Railway or South Western Railway.
Their refurbishment was long overdue and I'm glad it's been done - the customer experience is much enhanced. It's not known what they will become after their life with Avanti finishes, but CrossCountry seems the most likely reciever atm
Great video mate. AWC did an excellent job of refurbing their 221s.
They did, didn't they, it simply looks fantastic compared to the desolate state Virgin had them in. Glad you enjoyed!
Epic video! Reminds me of when I went to Wales. I need to go there again sometime.
Thanks for your kind words!
There is zero excuse for the shop to STILL be shut- especially in England...
Yep agreed but this was filmed a few months ago so it's probably changed by now
@@trainlagged oh ok. I hope so...
Epic video mate
Cheers, glad you enjoyed.
