Avanti timetable not available ?

[Vespa]

Been checking out timetable to book a ticket from Liverpool to Euston and back and found Avanti doesn't have any timetables for 19th June or 25th June.

What do you think is going on ?

probably engineering works happening on those days and timetables haven't been confirmed

 

[Vespa]

I may have to be prepared look at an alternative way to get to London if that's the case.
Hotel is already booked non refundable.

19th June (Sunday) and 25th June (Saturday) are both weekend days. Avanti for whatever reason(s), seem not to have been the quickest ToC to get their weekend timetables confirmed/finalised this year.

The OP is not the first, and almost certainly won't be the last, to ask a similar question!

P.S. Is travel via Birmingham and Marylebone a possibility for @Vespa if it's the Southern end of the WCML that's affected on the dates in question?

I did wonder about that, got the same for LNWR railway too " no ticket available"

May have to look at alternative routing

 

[Vespa]

Found train split will do the journey but several changes
Liverpool-Crewe-Euston LNWR
Euston-Chester-Liverpool LNWR/TFW

NATIONAL EXPRESS is a bit cheaper and direct but 5-6 hours

Checking Avanti's "Planned Engineering Work"
https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/t...y/planned-engineering-works?year=2022&month=6
Or the equivalent information on NRE
https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/serv...ntAndFuture.aspx?TravelDate=19/06/2022&TOC=vt
will reassure you that there are no major delays planned, provided you don't wish for some reason to travel via Coventry.

Update: managed to find tickets with LNWR at £25.05 return super off peak with one change at Crewe, only catch is I may have to get off at Rugby for coaches to Birmingham into then resume my journey. It may change newer the time and normal service renewed.

It's actually cheaper than trainsplit ! Which has 3 changes and £41.44.

I actually prefer to travel by train than coaches if I can help it, there's more leg room on a LNWR train.

Fingers crossed it works out ok, thanks for all your help and advice cheers all.

Not at all likely, given the geography

Presumably you will also be diverted via Northampton, but LNWR don't seem to know that.

That's reassuring I have to say I'm not well up on LNWR routings in that regard, has to better than sitting in a National Express coach at any rate, I found the legoom on LNWR to be very generous.
