Feel Good Field Trips

Feel Good Field Trips was launched in March 2022 by Avanti West Coast and aims to provide thousands of school children aged between 4-18 with the chance to go on free, enriching and educational days out across the West Coast Mainline.

The schools involved all have high pupil premium rates and are located close to a station Avanti serves. Many will have never had the opportunity to go on such a special field trip – some won’t have even been on a train before.

Schools that can access an Avanti managed station (Rugby, Coventry, Birmingham International – transport to stations can be provided over a short distance), are invited to sign up for one of two trips.  These trips are completely free for schools and include:

• A return trip on an Avanti train
• Lunch
• An enriching educational day out which is reflective of Britain's diverse society
• Learning in a hands-on way / interactive experience

The two Feel Good Field Trips schools can choose from are:
