Avanti West Coast trains from London to Oxenholme Lake District

By Daniel Clark | Updated April 7, 2026

On the way from England’s cultural centre to its most visited national park, travel with Avanti West Coast for a smooth and comfortable journey. Here’s what you need to know about your operator.

What’s the difference between Avanti West Coast train classes?

Avanti West Coast is unique for offering three different classes. By far, the most luxurious choice is First Class. You’ll sit in the most comfortable seats and enjoy a premium and personalised onboard experience. 
For Standard Class passengers, the most basic option is still a premium experience. Benefit from spacious carriages, complimentary Wi-Fi, ample luggage space, and a chance to buy drinks, light meals, and snacks throughout your trip.
For the middle ground – a little luxury at a low cost – upgrade to Standard Premium. In these seats, you’ll be able to relax in roomier seats and have access to a guaranteed table if you need to get on with some work on your route to Oxenholme.

Is Avanti West Coast First Class worth it?

When the Avanti West Coast Standard Class is already a premium travel experience, is it worth upgrading to First Class? That depends on your travel preferences and budget, though in general, Avanti is well regarded for its excellent First Class service. Before the train even leaves, chill out in the London Euston First Class Lounge; then, during your journey, get the best service from a dedicated member of staff, including complimentary food and drink brought to you.

Does Avanti West Coast have enough luggage space?

If you’re travelling for a long weekend, or even longer in the Lake District, you won’t have to squeeze everything into one bag: Avanti West Coast allows each passenger to bring three items of luggage onboard. To store everything securely, make use of the operator’s ample space, made up of overhead luggage racks and larger compartments at the ends of aisles.
