Avanti managing director Andy Mellors said the company would work with the government on the handover. He pointed to refurbished Pendolino trains, new Evero trains and an increase in services among the company’s achievements. [1]
Avanti is a joint venture owned by FirstGroup and Trenitalia. Great Western Railway, which is owned by FirstGroup, is also scheduled to move into public ownership in December 2026. [1]
