⚠️Storm Boelo: Important travel advice 24-25 October.
The Met Office has issued weather warnings for high winds across Scotland & northern England this weekend. There's a risk of rail disruption, so please plan ahead and allow extra time.
Sat 24 October: Check before you travel on all Avanti West Coast routes.
Sun 25 October: We strongly recommend you avoid travel north of Preston if possible. We're running a reduced timetable due to Network Rail speed restrictions, with fewer trains and longer journey times.
🎟️ Avanti West Coast tickets for journeys north of Preston on Sunday 25 October can be used at no extra cost on 24, 26 or 27 October.

⛈️ #StormAusten arrives this week, so we're working hard to prevent weather-related delays.
🚆 40-60% more rain is forecast than normal this year, so floods + fallen trees are likely to disrupt trains.
