The crisis on Avanti West Coast is escalating

On 14 August 2022, Avanti West Coast - part-owned by FirstGroup and Trenitalia (Italy's state-owned rail operator!) - drastically reduced the timetable on our West Coast Main Line, causing misery for millions of travellers over the last month.

Meanwhile, on 4 September it was reported that the Department for Transport (DfT) is still planning to renew Avanti's contract (which expires on 16 October) for another 10-years. This must be stopped.

Today our lawyers have written to the DfT to demand they act urgently to bring our West Coast Main Line back into public ownership (like LNER, Northern and Southeastern already are).
