London Euston to Crewe on the new Class 805 Evero

I have to be in the North tonight, so why not make it so that I can ride on one of Avanti's new Class 805 Everos?

They might be "just another 800 series unit" but what have Avanti specified to make these better than the woeful ones we suffer on the GWR? Join me to see if there's any hope for us all with these Hitachi trains.

Oh and to add to the fun, this is the day after many train cancellations due to Storm Bert. You can be sure that this video is going to feature quite a lot of water!
