Avanti West Coast trains from Liverpool to London Euston

By Brenda Jude | Updated August 13, 2026
Avanti West Coast operates the primary direct service between Liverpool Lime Street and London Euston, covering 177 miles in as little as 2 hours 13 minutes. The route is served by more than 40 trains daily, with departures running every hour throughout the day.

Is Avanti West Coast First Class worth it?

First Class is designed for passengers who want a more comfortable journey. You'll benefit from wider reclining seats, extra legroom, guaranteed tables, and access to Avanti West Coast lounges, where available, before departure.
Complimentary at-seat dining, including seasonal meals, hot and cold drinks, and alcoholic beverages, is included, making it particularly worthwhile for longer business trips or those wanting a more premium experience.

What is Standard Premium?

Standard Premium bridges the gap between Standard and First Class. Passengers enjoy the same spacious 2+1 seating layout found in First Class, complete with generous legroom, power sockets and guaranteed tables.
However, lounge access and complimentary food and drinks are not included. It is an excellent choice for anyone wanting extra comfort and workspace without paying the full First Class fare.

Is there enough luggage space onboard?

Avanti West Coast provides generous luggage storage throughout every train without charging additional baggage fees. Large luggage racks are positioned near carriage entrances for suitcases.
While Standard coaches are often crowded, Premium and First Class coaches carry fewer passengers, making it easier to find available storage space during busy periods.
