London To Manchester Trains

London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly Station is one of the UK’s busiest rail connections connecting the capital, London to Manchester, the largest city in the north west of England.

Intercity train to London

The rail franchise was held by Richard Branson’s Virgin despite a seeming setback earlier this year when the lucrative West Coast route was initially awarded to FirstGroup in August only to be later reversed by the government.

*Update 2019: First Trenitalia will take over the franchise for the West Coast Mainline from Virgin Trains which has run the route since 1997. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains. Services if anything have got worse.

Train at Stockport Station

The current West Coast Line runs between London Euston and Manchester Piccadilly and between Euston and Liverpool Lime Street with connections to Watford, Milton Keynes, Rugby, Nuneaton, Tamworth, Lichfield, Stafford, Crewe, Runcorn, Stoke, Macclesfield and Stockport.
