The people who happened to ride these trains were really lucky!

I used to travel New Street/Euston on these regularly. Still miss 'em.

That intercity swallow train is smart as fuck! Need to go back to that livery! Beautiful

They should have imposed that livery on all Inter-City trains regardless of franchise. Very classy. Far better that the blob of paint we get over the door areas nowadays.

They put in one hell of a showing, one of the runs by 86401 is the second fastest ever clocked between euston and crewe by a member of the class.

Immaculate condition,they look superb, thanks for the upload.

Loco hauled MKIII coaches (1st class no less) knocks the Pendos and Class 800s into a cocked hat comfort-wise! In fact even the MKII coaches have better ride than the EMUs'! Bring back proper trains I say! :D

The class 800’s and pendolinos can’t be compared. The pendos are brilliant trains the IET’s are rancid

I had to double-check that I wasn't watching a video from the '90s😅

It’s a pity I can only like this video once. The trains and the photography are both superb.

Awesome footage of the loco hauled extras. Nicely done.

Hi from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 very good upload brilliant sharing of the train 🚆

Brilliant

Stunning!!

Awesome railway footage

Superb capture

Both sets looking superb! Though I notice the 90s sound a little different to how they did originally, did GA fit different style blowers when they were with them I wonder?

Class 86 hauling 11 mk2s and managing impressive timings even though it's limited to 100mph.

The best video i've seen of Avanti Extras so far. Thank you for sharing.

Did you get the 80's and 90's ticket prices too? Before the profiteers took over.

Were these the only locomotives available?

Fantastic video could someone remind me what class the blue one was many thanks

Wow. Can Avanti West Coast Increase Services Including Increasing North Wales To London Services

With the new order for Hitachi bi-mode units it seems almost impossible in the next future. Perhaps it could happen in the meantime but im am a bit sceptic.

Why don’t you ask Avanti directly?

These aren’t operated by Avanti, there’s a different company running the Friday Charters.

These are not the Friday charter. That was a Friday only thing operated by LSL. These trains were operating in addition to Avanti west coast

Read the description.

Yeah this is absolutely fantastic. The taxpayers spent billions upgrading west coast mainline and introducing tilting trains to reduce journey times. Then the Tory government gives the franchise to a bus company and we end up using heritage rolling stock to run a service. This is tremendous and shows that the UK are going to make a total success of HS2 when it's complete. Maybe we will be running Voyagers on HS2 in 20 years because Avanti West Coast are hiring them in from a charter company!

Inter city is the ugliest train ever made.
