Progress on Avanti West Coast's 805/807s Hitachi AT300 sets

[LNW-GW Joint]

Most London-Glasgow trains are first stop Warrington, so they won't be carrying passengers from Crewe.

The via Birmingham ones (hourly to Glasgow/Edinburgh) do stop at Stafford and Crewe.

They look deeper to me, but hey-ho.

Than Voyagers? Definitely not. Voyager windows are massive vertically. Are you thinking of Pendolinos, or maybe 222s? (The latter, despite being a similar body, have windows that are smaller vertically than 220/221).

Facilities on the 14:48 Holyhead to London Euston due 18:35.
Will be formed of 7 coaches instead of 10 between Holyhead and Chester

First 807 in traffic?

I was on this yesterday. Exactly the same. A very keen guard kept advising at all stops that coaches XYZ (whichever they are) would "join us" at Chester due to the short platform at Flint.

As others have said an 807 is all electric, and none have been accepted by Avanti.

All built 807s are currently at the Hitachi factory.

I see there is an 807 coming to Oxley from Merchants Park on Thursday..

No paths in as yet, but if runs wouldn’t be surprised if it is just 807002 heading back across.

Which 807 is it likely to be?

I assumed as much

Quite right, but just see the number of local passengers doing the Warrington-Wigan hop. It can be standing room only between those two stops.

However 807003 is out again on mainline testing from Aycliffe.
