Given how busy the train was this is definitely great value. The Manchester to London 1st Class fares are crazy expensive even on an advanced ticket since Avanti took over.

London to Manchester even in virgin trains days was expensive, flexible or advance fare. Since covid and the government/DfT controlling the railway, there are less advance fares nowadays because Government/DfT takes all of the ticket sales (compare to pre-covid where TOC's took the sales) and therefore control the purse strings of the railway, so obviously less advance fares means the public has to buy the more expensive tickets etc = more money in their pockets. And then because of the governement/dFT also wanting to cut corners to make the railway more efficent its why you see first class on all TOCs' pretty much cutback compared to precovid, but still the same price (or sometimes more expensive). EMR is a pure example, no first class lounges, no proper first class cooked items. That said, London to Manchester, defintiely look at ticket split especially on first as usually advance fares if you split at Nuneaton or/and Stockport, you can save a couple of quid. I did a search recently for 2 days in advance ticket splitting at those 2 stations, £40+ saving so instead of £240, it was £198.

It will be interesting to compare the service, seat comfort, food and snack offerings etc when the Hitachi 805s take over from the 221s in the not too distant future. I did Manchester to Holyhead once on a TfW service. Just a 2-car 175. The stock then made up the Holyhead - Cardiff service. Both services, to and from Holyhead were uncomfortably busy. A great welcoming for any tourist travelling to or from Ireland. I feel sorry for people in North Wales who rely on TfW services, especially compared to the investment in the south, and most of all around Cardiff.

I have done this just a short while ago (travelling from the Netherlands to Portlaoise in Ireland and back. The first class in these Avanti West Coast trains is excellent. Better as in Eurostar which is also serving a meal during the journey (which is not bad either, but they are not serving hot food). In Belgium and here in the Netherlands there are no foods and drinks at all on any train: you have to buy something yourself before boarding. So that Eurostar and Aventi West Coast are offering just that in the first class and even "for free" (it's included in your ticketprice I guess) is very good service indeed. And for 1st class Interrail card holders (like me) the food and drinks in those trains are a real treat. I do not take that for granted. And again: Aventi is the winner for me because Eurostar is not serving hot food.

Another good video Mark. I also try to go 1st where I can justify the extra, or there's an offer on. I used to use Seatfrog for upgrades on LNER; but they are getting very expensive. Because the Lincoln to Kings Cross service has the bottom tier menu; it's very difficult to justify £15 for essentially, a bacon roll with coffee. I can also recommend the TFW Gerald service from Cardiff to Chester and the GWR Pullman service out of Paddington (though I only had breakfast when they used to do it). Both excellent journeys with some great food.

I have done the glasgow to london route and vice versa, and yeah we pretty much get our moneys worth of snacks in the lounge. Sometimes too much and then we get full before boarding. And on all times due to issues outside anyones control, we end up sometimes being delayed so we always get 50% off our money back, so even more of a bargain. And then because of the delays, we ended with extra food etc, which we aren't turning down. Did it before £75 advance each then with delay repay, got £37.50 back so 1st class for £37.50 is a bargain for 2 hot meals each onboard, all the snacks in the lounge, and the first class tickets.

Mm sad thing is that whilst one can, from ///any/// GB rail station, buy a very good value rail / sail thru ticket (and no luggage restrictions) to any of the ports in Ireland (ie to Belfast, to Dublin or to Rosslare), one can now no longer buy a thru rail / sail / rail ticket to any rail station in Ireland, N or S (eg Dumbarton to Derry, Gillingham to Galway, Welwyn to Waterford etc). Now, on arrival in Ireland, one has to separately buy the relevant Translink (NI) or Iarnrod Eireann (Republic) rail one. The same applies now the other way: OK a thru sail / rail ticket to any GB rail station from any of those ports but no longer a thru ticket from (say) Cork to Chelmsford etc.

I tried a similar way to order on board an LNER service from King's Cross to Leeds last year, but Avanti seems to have better choices (LNER has a skeleton menu). Anyway, £16 is a good value for first class. The cheapest first class ticket I bought was a promotional €15 fare between Bologna and Milan on an Italo High Speed Train on Easter Sunday in 2018. That class, called Prima, is a great value. Wales is still somewhere I have to visit, as I did not have the chance so far, maybe next year as I am planning to visit Northern Ireland in December.

I’d passed through Crewe on some of TfW winter services Pre-Covid out of Manchester Piccadilly via Stockport on my way to Chester for the connection to Holyhead when going home to Ireland - it reverses out of Crewe which is a bit strange, but I do try to get Avanti out of Chester to Holyhead where possible - I just wish they had more direct services from Manchester to Holyhead on SailRail though, as TfW trains are tiny by comparison to Avanti and the connections at Chester & Lladnuo can be very tight when travelling with a heavy suitcase - one possible workaround is to get a Northern from Manchester Victoria to Chester and Avanti to Holyhead as TfW don’t call at Deansgate/Castlefield (for the Metrolink) which is a bit odd as especially when travelling via Metrolink from Shudehill/Market St, Platform 13 at Piccadilly is a real hassle when getting tickets/information after climbing out of the Metrolink platforms at Piccadilly

Not sure when you travelled with them but sounds like you had some bad luck and got one of the bad journeys. I have done the glasgow to london multiple times, and it is hit and miss, but majority of the time the service is quite good. But I do think it depends on the staff as well. Some tend to be over generous and give you multiple hot meals on the journey whereas some just give you one hot meal. I know technically you are only meant to get 1 meal per ticket but the multiple meals is usually a bonus. I think first class has improved more recently though, as avanti did go through a rough patch a while ago, with staff issues and stock issues (been told their food suppliers were having issues supplying products).
