Avanti West Coast to Cut One in Seven Trains on Its Busiest Intercity Routes The UK's rail network is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons, with Avanti West Coast announcing a significant reduction in services on its busiest intercity routes.
Starting July 20th, about one in seven trains will be cut from timetables between London and Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester.
The decision appears to be a cost cutting measure in response to government pressure to reduce spending on rail services.
