Avanti West Coast's climate train will be known as 'Opportunity' following a nationwide search for a worthy name.
A competition was launched on social media last October after the train was wrapped in a unique design championing rail travel as part of Avanti West Coast's partnership with Eurostar to transport delegates attending the COP26 Climate Change Conference between Amsterdam and Glasgow. Opportunity is wrapped in a unique design with slogans including "Our planet means the world to us" and "Ride against climate change".
The successful name suggestion was put forward by 18-year-old Kyla Louise Poulton - while the contest to design Opportunity's emblem design was won by Luca Fazakerley, 10, from Grassendale. Kyla said: "The name was an idea I had after talking to my friends. We knew about the Progress train name, so I wanted to come up with a name that was on a similar line to that so that they were linked in some way.
