Channel: Vanmanyo
Player
Description
As a regular passenger on Avanti, I thought I would discuss one of the most notorious British TOCs; and whether Avanti truly are Britain's worst TOC, in terms of delays, reliability, cancellations etc.
This video in no way is meant to offend or have a go at the company or its staff members (who are absolutely lovely), it is just a video explaining the poor performance of Avanti.
There may be a few grammatical errors or factual errors that I missed; just let me know below.
