A Lancashire MP has complained about the service of Avanti West Coast on Twitter, hours after it was announced the rail operator’s contract had been extended by the Government.

Cat Smith, who has represented Lancaster and Fleetwood since 2015, said her Avanti train had been cancelled, no hot water was available on her later service and she had eaten a mouldy brownie.

The company’s Twitter account replied to Ms Smith’s tweet, asking for clearer photo evidence before saying it would investigate the issues and provide a refund for the brownie.
