My weekend jaunt to the north west started from Euston where I had an hour to kill before catching a train to Birmingham. As usual, my aim is just to record the every day ordinary for posterity as it soon changes. Within the next couple of years we can expect to see new Hitachi units on some Avanti services and Aventra units on LNW/WMT routes. The Voyagers will be retired by Avanti but there might be open access operators and who knows what stock they will have. There may even be a viable plan for how Euston and HS2 will work together. I'll be keeping an eye on developments and making return visits as and when there is something to report on.
