Passengers, rail unions and politicians have reacted to this morning’s announcement that Avanti West Coast have been awarded a long-term contract to continue to run rail services between Manchester and London Euston. Avanti will start a new rail contract on October 15 which lasts at least three years and could run for nine years, with ministers citing an improvement in services in the last six months.
