    Midland Mainline timetable changes May 2018

    At the present time, the Nottingham local service wouldn't be able to extend any further south - the speed limit of the 15x rolling stock is too low to intermix and extra units would be needed (that don't exist)...

    It it Only Me that Doesn't Like Doubled-Up Units?

    Possibly TMs, possibly hosts. Coupled units generally run in the peak flow direction, so they'll be needed later on when they split.

    Everyone travelling through, but not to/from, the GTR region with the peak flows (with Luton Airport Parkway connectivity maintained). The 2nd track will be 're'-commissioned soon, ahead of the timetable change.

    Midland Mainline timetable changes May 2018

    The #tph is still maintained. The 1745 is the only scheduled use of the 6th path which inflates the current departure schedule, meaning a direct comparison doesn't quite work.

    All that is specified is 2tph.
