For years, people have been expected to put up with Avanti’s cancellations, delays, overcrowding, and a service that has failed them time and time again.

That means passengers, not shareholders, will come first.
More investment, fewer delays, and a renewed focus on getting the basics right.
We're putting essential services back in public hands and building a railway that actually works for the people who use it.
I’m very concerned Richard. It’s a terribly serious incident. Which is why unlike you and your colleagues, I’m not engaging in reckless and erroneous speculation that could undermine an active investigation.
