To clarify that the date for the replacement of the 221s has slipped to 2023,
Modern Railways states: Hitachi’s Newton Aycliffe plant has a relatively modest beat rate of five vehicles a week.

Given the recent problems of Avanti, given the unclear future of the firm, given the lack of sources in most of the paragraphs AND given the not very high relevance of possibly changing trains within the next decade --- all this together I edited out all paragraphs about the future, or better: a future. These paragraphs were either written bei Avanti themselves or by hardcore train enthusiasts and to my opinion dont fulfill the high standards of WP regarding future events. See "WP is not a crystal ball". PLS state only facts a.k.a. things that exist. 95.90.129.68 ( talk) 11:55, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Is there a rationale for the name "Avanti"? For example, is it based on the Italian for "move forward", or the Indian female given name? Was the name generated by a marketing/branding firm like Wolff Olins, or is there some other history? — The Anome ( talk) 15:55, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
On the Class 221 fleet details, it states Avanti WC has only 8 221s. In this article, it states that they have 13. Furthermore, the past trains section does not state any of the 221s put into storage. I will change this article, but I am just stating this to avoid any edit wars. 92.20.253.61 ( talk) 15:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
