Avanti West Coast launches cheap train ticket scheme for ‘flexible’ customers - how to book

Avanti West Coast is offering low-cost train tickets for customers who can be flexible with their journeys. Avanti’s superfare tickets will enable customers to buy a ticket for a specific date with the choice of morning, afternoon or evening slots, but the time will be selected by the intercity operator.

Around 24 hours before their journey, customers will be matched to an empty seat on a quieter train. They will then be told the time of their train’s departure and their seat reservation.
