Our Super Voyager trains

The Super Voyagers served as a dependable backbone of rail travel in the UK since their introduction in 2002 by Virgin Trains. With features like tilting technology for smoother journeys on winding routes and onboard WiFi for convenience, they set a high standard for passenger comfort. Having left service for Avanti West Coast in 2024, they offered fast and reliable service to passengers for many years.
