I'd take the Twitter account with a pinch of salt. Surely they'd use something like @avantitrains not other way round. They'll probably go with @avantiWCP.

Doesn't always happen like that - Arriva Trains Wales to TfW for example, that was a new account. Also, Virgin probably want to keep the Twitter account for their proposed open access service.Worth noting as well that the new TOC will simply rebrand the current Virgin Twitter.
That looks very fake...This is a screenshot of a Twitter account which has been created in the last few days. It is named Avanti Trains (@TrainsAvanti) and has posted one tweet, yesterday, simply saying "Coming Soon!"

The brand name is decided, so that's it!
It's not decided yet
I believe it is, unless they have registered domains etc for a laugh.
I don’t see why somebody would make it up. Unless a forum member has too much time on their hands...
Which domains are you referring to
I wonder if the trains will end up pastel green like their logo?avantitrains.co.uk / avantitrains.com.
Oh, and this, which has just shown up on the other thread and looks like it might just be it...

I do hope not.
Why not? I personally like the colour, but i guess it could be somewhat boring!
OK, I'm going to chance my arm on a guess - white with that colour on the doors and a black window band. Which would be quite easy to do quickly using the existing units. Maybe a large format logo on the blank area by the cab, possibly in reverse i.e. white on pastel green.
I don't think it is. That's the logo for Avanti Communications. www.avantiplc.com so whilst the name may be right I doubt that'll be the logo.

You know, I was expecting something that relates to the route as operators tend to do nowadays. Is there some sort of background to this name? or the logo? I am a bit disappointed by the name chosen to be fair.avantitrains.co.uk / avantitrains.com.

Quite a nice livery, but EWS, no way! We been there and done that one.
Virtually confirmed today that AVANTI is part of the TOC name!!
AVANTI West Coast!
First AVANTI!
AVANTI Trains!
Take your pick!
Better without the trains as its way to similar to virgin. Completely different sounding name like First Avanti would be betterIt means forward in italian, but i agree it's not great... It's similar to Virgin Trains, however
VIRGIN TRAINS
AVANTI TRAINS

I think someone is pulling our leg:Why a forum member? As soon as any new company is formed people try and take all similar handles, it's gone on for years.
IndeedWell, full marks for effort!
