TransPennine Express, much like its sister company Avanti West Coast, has been hit hard the past year or so resulting from staff shortages and overcrowding, leading to there being many delays and cancellations across their network. I just so happened to be one of those who were significantly impacted by this, as I ended up being entitled for a full refund from Liverpool to Newcastle on board one of their sleek new Nova 1 trains in first class... so join me as we check out the first of TPE's new intercity fleet!
