Avanti | Class 805 first day in service! Euston - Crewe

Hello!

What a way to kick off season 10 on IXT! We’ve been waiting for this day! At IXT we are fans of the 80X family. We were there for the inaugural Edinburgh to London King’s Cross service!

The Avanti class 805s have been named “Evero’s”. Today we were there for the inaugural Avanti 805 Evero service from London Euston to Holyhead.

What are the new units like? Are there any differences? Are they any better or any worse?

Please join us and find out what we thought!

Credit goes to Richard Clinnick on X for a post where we were able to get ready and head out for the first London to Holyhead Evero service.

For more information on the Class 805 Everos:

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey!

I love the avant train they're wonderful ❤

1:39 something i like about the classes before the 805 was the wooden wall panels to be honest.

[devon]

Avanti IET's just seem better built and more well thought out. I hope GWR will eventually upgrade theirs to match one day.

[lovefive]

A fantastic video, Thank you so much for uploading this video, Take care 😊😊😊😊

If they go to Scotland, we should see English and Scottish Gaelic.

I know it is a relatively a minor thing but I am so glad the announcements now say "and.... the terminating station" because it annoyed me so much they didn't before.

[simonsv]

Good thing they didn’t use the same hard seats as on LNER and Hull Trains

[patmcdermott]

Is the overall journey time from Euston-Holyhead reduced & by how much please?

[WeAmYam]

Great video 🎉 Would you say the first class is better or the same as the likes of GWR or LNER class 800s?

[shugieshugied]

I look forward to trying those, but I hope "firm" doesn't become painful after 20 minutes, the GWR trains from Paddington to Reading are ok for that time, but anything longer would be nasty

[SWTROfficial]

Would I be able to use parts of this video for a short? Will credit you

[MrPhil]

These look OK, i hope that GWR can make theirs silmilar in the future, especially with a proper buffet area, better seats and better lighting

[ghighlandchieftain]

Great video I wot class 805 been come to Scotland Glasgow or Edinburgh Waverley

[Andrewjg_]

No way. So Avanti West Coast has confirmed that they are now starting to use the Bi-mode Class 805s.

[barrielui]

Class 805 cannot go 125mph on WCML - the maximum speed for non-tilting trains is 110mph.

[belugar]

Sad to see the voyagers go for Avanti, I should enjoy the 805 and 807 passing my local stations.

[Anonymoususer_]

The Avanti West Coast Class 805 are very nice. I guess that the Class 807 will also be the same apart from it would be electric only.

[rhysy.]

Bring back loco hauled stock on the WCML!

[AFCManUk]

Have these been bought in to replace/compliment the existing Pendolinos?
Do they even tilt?

[martinanderson]

Would Skimbleshanks have approved.

Euston - Glasgow Central - Plain English 😊
