Liverpool is one of the UK’s largest cities, known for its rich musical heritage and maritime history as a major port. It’s a great stop to include on any UK itinerary. In this article, I’ll show you how to travel to London aboard the new Evero long-distance train.

Route overview
Connecting Liverpool and London are the direct trains operated by Avanti West Coast. The journey covers roughly 290 kilometers in just over two hours, making it the fastest way to travel between the two cities.
Transportation experience
Train travel in the UK is straightforward, with frequent departures and no check-in process. Simply scan your ticket at the platform barrier, find your train, and take a seat—it's that easy.
Departure station
Liverpool Lime Street is the city’s main station and the oldest major railway terminal in the world still in use, dating back to 1836. While not modern, it has some convenience stores, basic seating, and is within walking distance of the city center.
Arrival station
Trains from Liverpool arrive at London Euston, a central station with excellent London Underground connections for getting around the city.
Schedule & frequency
From Liverpool, there are one to two direct trains per hour to London, all operated by Avanti West Coast. Journey times are around 2 hours and 15 minutes, depending on stops. Slower, cheaper trains with connections and various buses to Liverpool can also be found on Omio for quick and easy comparison. I opted for one of the fast, direct Avanti trains.
Onboard experience & services
Getting to Liverpool Lime Street was easy, as it's just a short walk from my hotel. The historic station itself is a sight worth seeing. There’s no formal check-in process on British trains, so you can just scan your ticket and board. Avanti uses two types of trains on this route (I explain both of them below): The older Pendolino The new Evero Both offer: An onboard buffet Power outlets Free Wi-Fi, which worked well for light browsing throughout the journey. Plenty of luggage space Seating on both is identical in Standard Class, but in my experience, the First Class seats on the Pendolino are slightly better. The Pendolino also has a tilting mechanism, which may cause motion sickness, so sensitive travelers may prefer the non-tilting Evero. However, First Class can be very expensive, so I only recommend it if the price difference is small. Alternatively, Standard Premium offers the same seating without lounge access or meals but is often priced much closer to a standard ticket. The ride to London isn’t especially scenic, mostly just passing through flat agricultural fields, which get progressively more urban as the train approaches London. But if you watch out on the right side as you pass Crewe Station, you’ll spot some beautifully preserved heritage trains. They serve as reminders of Britain’s proud history as the nation that invented the railway. The train arrived at London Euston on time, just before lunch, ready to explore the city.

Ticketing advice & budget breakdown
Ticket prices vary dynamically and can get very expensive at the last minute, so be sure to book early! Starting fares:
| Item | Cost (eur) |
|---|---|
| Ticket price | €146 |
| Food & drinks | € |
| Travel to departure station | € |
| Travel from arrival station | € |
| Total | € 146 |
Top tips & recommendations
- Book early to avoid high fares.
- Look out for the heritage trains near Crewe.
- Standard Premium offers more space and is often a great deal.
- If the *Evero* feels shakier than other trains, don’t worry, as it’s fairly normal due to its lightweight design.
Conclusion
While the train from Liverpool to London can be pricey, it remains the fastest and most convenient way to travel from city center to city center. Both the Pendolino and Evero trains are modern and comfortable, so your preference may depend on motion sensitivity or seat comfort. Just make sure to book your trip on Omio early to avoid high-priced last-minute fares.

There was wifi, but no power sockets and no small tables to work on. The whole train was clean and not very full. The passengers were all quiet and the overall volume was reasonable. As it was winter, it was also quite chilly on the train and I had to put on a jacket during the journey. However, warm food was sold by the service, which warmed the body from the inside.
