All aboard the Avanti West Coast ‘Dot to Dot’ Express
Avanti West Coast launch a series of fun activities for railway obsessed youngsters.
Avanti West Coast is offering a little help to those parents with railway obsessed children who are missing their trains.
They have prepared a number of activities on social media, part fun and part educational to both challenge and stimulate youngsters as schools are closed during lockdown.
These tasks include: -
- A dot to dot challenge to draw your own Class 390 Pendolino;
- Pin the station on the network map; and
- A colouring in challenge.
More activities are planned for young ones and available via the Avanti West Coast Twitter (@AvantiWestCoast) and Facebook accounts.
“We understand how much our younger rail enthusiasts are missing their trains,” explained Daisy Hawker-Wallace, Head of PR for Avanti West Coast. “Whilst these won’t replace the thrill of seeing a Pendolino whizz through the station, we hope they will help to keep the passion alive and give their parents five minutes' peace!”
