Gaining the advantage of meeting in person and meeting sustainability targets need not be incompatible goals. Our friends at Avanti West Coast are transforming rail travel to offer business customers industry-leading standards of comfort, a significant step up in services, and the opportunity to cut carbon emissions and achieve sustainability targets.<\/p>\n
Avanti has recently refurbished its entire Pendolino fleet, with everything from new seats and carpets to wireless charging and power points at every seat. It\u2019s the UK\u2019s biggest train upgrade and it\u2019s making a considerable difference to the customer experience onboard.<\/p>\n
June 2024 saw the launch of Avanti West Coast\u2019s brand-new Evero fleet. With more comfort and space onboard and journey-changing innovations such as ergonomic seats and reading lights, the new trains are transforming travel to Liverpool, the Midlands, Chester, and North Wales. Sustainability is built in, with bi-mode trains able to switch seamlessly between diesel and electric power, cutting carbon emissions by around 60% vs their old diesel Voyager trains.<\/p>\n
It seems that going with Avanti is the fastest way to achieve sustainability goals. The company itself is on track to reach net zero by 2031<\/a>. In this article we sat down with Avanti West Coast to find out more.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#leading-the-way” button_text=”Read More” admin_label=”BUTTON – Read More” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Avanti-West-Coast-Logo-WEB.png” title_text=”Avanti-West-Coast-Logo-WEB” url=”https:\/\/www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk\/” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” admin_label=”LOGO – Avanti West Coast” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”56%” width_tablet=”70%” width_phone=”70%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Road-to-Innovation-graphic.png” title_text=”Road-to-Innovation graphic” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”19.8px” custom_margin=”54px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – Leading Way in Innovation” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”ROW -Leading the Way” module_id=”leading-the-way” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”75%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”1420px” max_width_tablet=”1420px” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”40px” custom_margin=”2.5%||2.5%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”1420px” max_width_tablet=”1420px” max_width_phone=”1420px” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_icon font_icon=”||fa||900″ align=”left” icon_width_tablet=”” icon_width_phone=”” icon_width_last_edited=”on|phone” align_tablet=”left” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”ICON – Water Refill” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_text admin_label=”TITLE – Water Refill” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_align_tablet=”” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”28px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – Water Refill” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Avanti introduced Water Refill Points onboard their Pendolino and Evero trains, a first for the railway industry.

The initiative is part of Avanti\u2019s responsible business commitment to build a cleaner and greener railway, and significantly reduce single use plastic onboard their services.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_icon font_icon=”||divi||400″ align=”left” align_tablet=”left” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”ICON – Goodmaps” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER – Goodmaps” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_align_tablet=”” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”29px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – Goodmaps” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In another first for the UK rail industry, supporting visually impaired customers, Avanti teamed up with technology provider, GoodMaps \u2013 a free app offering navigation support across their stations.
