Train from London to Liverpool -- where are the 2 hour trains?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to buy train tickets from London to Liverpool later this month. I keep reading that the train runs every hour from Euston to Lime Street and takes about 2:15. But when I try to buy tickets there are no hourly departures and the only options are 3.5 to 4.5 hour trips with a train change on the way. I understand there are staffing issues on Avanti ... but will the direct 2 hour trip tickets come on sale closer to my travel date?

Oh, Sunday is your problem. The fast trains are only on weekdays.

Ok that is ridiculous. Even Acela runs on Sundays.

I mean.. it’s Liverpool. No one actually wants to go there! (Joking! I’m a Londoner!)

My wife is the Liverpool fan. Fortunately we are also catching a game at the Emirates during our visit.

I'm so jealous. I wish Liverpool was the team they were last year. Man City is scary now with Haaland. Good luck.

Ditto. Tots... Sometimes they're like a bad boyfriend who leaves you after spending the night and steals most of your jewelry before sneaking out. Doesn't matter Harry, Son, Hugo I still love you no matter how much you hurt me.

In 2019 we took a train from Manchester to Liverpool and did the Beatles tour, which was really nice.

UK has several train strikes planned for October -- check the dates.

Such interesting history in Liverpool and connection to the States.
