Avanti West Coast full journey London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street 09/06/2023

My first ever time on a refurbished Class 390 (390125) with 1F11 0636 London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street calling at: Watford Junction (0651), Milton Keynes Central (0712), Stafford (0805), Crewe (0826), Runcorn (0844) and Liverpool Lime Street (0904). 390125 is also the first ever refurbished Class 390! Note that Watford Junction is pick-up only towards Liverpool Lime Street and set-down only towards London Euston. Avanti are not allowed to carry passengers solely between London Euston and Watford Junction which means that oyster and contactless pay as you go are not valid unlike London Overground and London Midland. Also featuring 802213 before it became Trainbow in early 2024.
