807007 has been in service for the last few months.

7th Feb 2025 it entered service.

My friend showed me a picture earlier today of 807007 now running in passenger traffic as well. Looked to be the 0843 from Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston. In fact according to Real Time Trains it looks like most of the Liverpool services are now Evero trains with only a few extra ones throughout the day being a Pendolino. I've heard that Avanti want to have the full two trains per hour running in the December timetable but is there any actual evidence or even a reasonable chance of this happening?

There are three extra pairs from September (1007, 1107 and 1507 from Euston/0807, 1408 and 1808 from Liverpool) not sure about December.

1A16 0843 Liverpool Lime Street to London Euston

807003 (unexpectedly) went via Chat Moss and Manchester Piccadilly and Wilmslow today to get back to Crewe, skipping Runcorn.

Is this the first time an 807 and/or Avanti Class 80X train has made it to / through Manchester?

I wonder what happened to cause it to go via the long way round to Crewe and not via Warrington?

Broken rail at Winsford. Believe the 0643 Euston turned back from Hartford to Liverpool.

Broken rail in the Winsford area apparently.

When will it undergo mainline testing?

Class 805 engine reliability improving :

Perhaps just a statistical fluctuation, but quite a contrast in apparent engine reliability on weekday workings from Holyhead between the end of last month and this past week.

For sets monitored at least twice:
April 21st-25th
All engines working 05, 08, 09, 11 & 13
Engines out 01, 03, 04, 07 & 10 (50%)

May 19th-23rd
All engines working 01, 02, 03, 04, 08, 11 & 13
Engines out 09 & 12 (22%)

Will be interesting to see if this can be sustained.

I’ve seen on Avanti West Coast Enthusiast Facebook page this morning, that finally 807010 has escaped into the yard at Hitachi and is under going some static testing, so not long hopefully till that leaves and that will be all Avanti complete and delivered.
