Avanti West Coast
First and Trenitalia have been awarded the new West Coast franchise. The main headlines are: 1. Additional hourly Liverpool to London service with call at South Parkway, presumably not calling at Runcorn (due to no mention of additional services for Runcorn. 2. Brand new EMUs and bi-modes to replace Voyagers and for additional Liverpool service. 3. Pendolinos to be refurbished with all seats replaced. They'll also take on new HS2 services on a managament contract. First have also announced this is the last UK franchise they will be submitting a bid for, meaning they won't bid for the replacement GWR franchise after the latest direct award ends. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/west-...l-for-rail |
