Finding an Avanti Evero!

[hudsonp101]

I'm trying to meet the dreams of a train-mad boy, by booking a trip on one of the new Evanti Everos. I've looked at opentraintimes and there's one listed as an Class 800 EMU at 125mph (Milton Keynes to Euston 11:17 on a Saturday). Is that one of the new trains? Any way I can further confirm that before I book tickets? Thanks in advance.

Don't trust the timing loads to accurately show what is booked an 80x as many services, such as the Liverpools, are already timed for 80x while not operated by them.

This thread has a list of currently booked 805 workings: https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...5-807s-hitachi-at300-sets.214752/post-6793124

You can also use Realtimetrains to check allocations as Avanti is a participating TOC in Know Your Train.


It does appear that the 1021 Birmingham to Euston, 1117 off Milton Keynes, is actually booked an 805 on Saturdays though.

Hexagon - thanks for that - this is great, I'll take a look and fingers crossed I can make that 1117 work!

Dang it, it’s been cancelled. Will the 1217 be an 805?

Should be, the list I linked to does have it that 1B37 1121 Birmingham New St to London Euston, 1217 off Milton Keynes Central, is also booked 805 on Saturdays.

It's actually 3 in a row on Saturdays, 0921, 1021, 1121 from Birmingham New Street/1017, 1117, 1217 off Milton Keynes.

And that journey was one last week, so a very good sign

Thanks all for your help here. We made it and he seemed happy to have got on one to check it out.
