Known issues
Frequent train cancellations and timetable changes are common, especially during industrial action or operational issues. Avanti West Coast addresses these through temporary timetables and compensation schemes. Additionally, there are reports of long wait times when contacting customer service during peak disruption periods. To mitigate this, the company increases staffing during major incidents and promotes online self-service options.
