Avanti West Coast announce more services from September
Avanti West Coast will be reinstating numerous destinations from the 7th of September as part of alterations to its timetable.
Blackpool, Wrexham, Shrewsbury and Edinburgh will all see the return of direct Avanti West Coast services to and from London for the first time since lockdown measures were enforced.
North Wales will also see one train in each direction between Holyhead and Euston, supplemented by a shuttle service along the coast from Crewe. Chester will also have three direct trains to London Euston.
Furthermore, the West Coast Main Line operator will continue to provide the additional early morning services between Milton Keynes to London that started in July and the later afternoon return services.
The new timetable, with its 285 services, from Monday to Friday, represents just over 90% of the normal pre-Covid levels.
An Avanti West Coast representative said: “These additional services will mean more room for social distancing onboard. We would like to remind customers to book ahead, reserve their seat and wear a face covering whilst at the station and onboard our services.”
