Super Voyager trains were a key part of Avanti West Coast's fleet, providing high-speed, reliable service across our routes.

While no longer in service on Avanti routes, these trains remain notable for their innovative tilt technology and onboard features. They set a benchmark for comfortable and efficient travel.

Exploring Super Voyager Trains

Super Voyager trains have a long history in the UK, first hitting the rails in the early 2000s.

Now, you’ll only find Super Voyagers operated by CrossCountry, as we have now replaced those in service with our new Evero trains.
