Linlithgow used to be a stop on sundays between Inverness and Kings Cross, not Polmont.

Correct apart from kilmarnock line is only being wired up until Barrhead. And ayr to stranger isn't being wired.

travelled from kings cross to sandy 8 cars and i was the only person in my car. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- yeeah --- old post above --- --- new post below --- GATWICK IS! plus if heathrow had a westwards curve im sure a lot of intercities would go there. --- old post...

It used to go on to swansea with extra stops at bridgend and neath

If it wasn't for queen street we could have 12 cars running.

It doesnt go near eastleigh??

No its goes Via Wokingham and Ash so for it to govia dorking west to Redhill, the train could then carry on, though that means East Croydon And Kensington Olympia wouldnt be called at.

Passenger Numbers were low between chesterfield and Edinburgh

Even a local from Brighton to Reading, changing at reading for another XC. It was just a way from getting to the south avoiding London and being more relaxed. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Also if the Guildford was extended to Redhill-Brighton, that would avoid London completely.!!

My point, i was just told it was slowed between Brighton and Olympia.

Guildford used to have a Brighton service instead of going via Kensington and Croydon.

My train bypassed 4 southern, a heatrow connect and a Wrexham and Shropshire HST??

What are you on about? The Newquay, Paignton, Guildford, Bournemouth, Brum-stanstead and surprisingly Cardiff werent as busy as the Brighton.

Funny my 1422 Brighton was at Birmingham International by 5 o clock bang on and made it to Manchester by 19:16
