Avanti West Coast

[mikestone]

I was wondering if it might be this Monday as the 17.05 Euston-Blackpool (or its ECS moves from and to Oxley) isn't showing cancelled next week, but if it is it seems to be going to be a very low key launch.
(Until now It has been cancelled, well in advance, every day since it appeared in the timetable)

There's no 1705 EUS-BPN service showing anywhere.

It is in Real Time Trains but since I posted yesterday, has changed to CAN so either it was overlooked for next week, or perhaps it was intended/hoped to run it but in view of this past week's abysmal cancellation record they have thought better of it?

Just seen a 390 going down the Walsall to Wolverhampton Line today I assume there is engineering works on the Trent Valley Line there was last time I saw an Avanti going this way

Not Trent Valley line, It is just services from the North to Birmingham that are going that way

No - Trent Valley line is blocked today.
