 Surely, 2024 must be the final year of Voyager operations on the WCML with Avanati. With the new Class 805s undergoing testing, driver training and mileage accumulation their introduction is imminent, something that should have happened two years ago!

221117 passes Victoria bridge working the 14.01 Euston to Chester service.

PS Yes, it was the last year of Avanti Voyagers but only just with the final ones going off-lease on the timetable change on 07.12.24. However, they may yet return but this time in the hands of one of the many Open Access Operators vying for work on the lucrative WCML. (Note added 01.01.25)
