*Semi Fictional*
This is a driver training and test service of the new Avanti Class 805 bi-mode trains that will be used on the WCML later in 2023
This service will be affected by Easter engineering works, so some of the time you will be on the slow line due to major engineering work at two sites
There is also a 30mph TSR at Bushey. Expect many yellows at the start and end of the journey as you follow other services!

You will start at Roade and drive all the way to Euston

This scenario showcases Clowes’ plain white, black-fronted 805 units with a new interior for Avanti West Coast and Bodge IT TMD’s Cab label patch
