Hello!
What a way to kick off season 10 on IXT! We’ve been waiting for this day! At IXT we are fans of the 80X family. We were there for the inaugural Edinburgh to London King’s Cross service!
The Avanti class 805s have been named “Evero’s”. Today we were there for the inaugural Avanti 805 Evero service from London Euston to Holyhead.
What are the new units like? Are there any differences? Are they any better or any worse?
Please join us and find out what we thought!
Credit goes to Richard Clinnick on X for a post where we were able to get ready and head out for the first London to Holyhead Evero service.
For more information on the Class 805 Everos:

Class 805 cannot go 125mph on WCML - the maximum speed for non-tilting trains is 110mph.

@ajtrains 2 месяца назад

Multiple units will soon be able to go at a maximum speed of 125mph on the WCML within the next few months, regardless of tilt. The new signage is in place but bagged over until the new limits are introduced. Rugby-Coventry and Penkridge-Stafford are already 125mph non-tilt.

@EdgyNumber1 2 месяца назад

@@ajtrainsIn theory, if the signalling was upgraded to in-cab on the Trent Valley, the trains could even reach a speed of 140mph on the fast lines. Also, in order to get to 125mph, non-tilt, some sections of track have been reworked.

@chbmckie 2 месяца назад

To be fair, Welsh is an officially used language in England, so they're required to use it. In the same way you can sit your driving test in Welsh if desired (even anywhere in England), this is because wales is (from a parliamentary standpoint) effectively an extension of England, as the Welsh Assembly has very little power beyond finances, unlike the Scottish parliament. Scotland however is the only place where Scottish Gaelic is officially spoken, so as an English operator they have no requirement to use it, even though it would be nice.
