That is why they put black boxes over the bits they did not want me to see. They upgrade will see 2 new stations and extra platforms at Coventry. just keeping the nuneaton to coventy trains out of the way of the Virgin ones at Coventry must help the network.

Hi, It was obtained under the freedom of information act from Coventry city council. it is perfectly legal for you all to have a look at it. It was paid for by the city council and Warwickshire country council at great cost. The councils should have publised it so we could give them a kick to...

I have obtained the secret report into upgreding Nuneaton to Coventry and adding extra platforms/stations. Please send me comments back. http://greennuneaton.org.uk/nbrug_web/CovNunreport.pdf It seems they do not need much to add platforms at the Coventry end as a starter that could get...

Changing is risky when trains operate just once per hour. Changing is fine when both trains are regular. The time to change at Rugby will be around 5 minutes south bound. Virgin have never like us in Nuneaton. Most of the best value tickets require you take an exact train and some current Virgin...

We have have no southbound virgin trains between 8:45 and 21;03. we have no northbound Virgin trains between 6;40 and 18:13. the London Midland services are not allowed to take the direct route to euston and have a silly 10 minute wait at Northhampton. Even keeping one train at 10am and one...

Nuneaton is to lose almost all its virgin train service in the Dec08 timetable changes. The only thing left is the peak communter services to london in the Morning and back in the Evening plus a few extrame off peak services like the 05:35AM in the morning from Euston. We have just seen the...

Most Nuneaton train users would not be unhappy with Desiros but are unhappy with how they are being timetabled. The Desiros on the Trent Valley will be very useful as they give us a hourly train to other local towns on the route. They however are not "semi-fast". The 1 hour to London in a Virgin...

Currently stockport has 404,000 journeys to or from London via Virgin (2 trains per hour). Wilsmlow has just 35,000 as very few direct trains stop and its only 6 miles to Stockport. Nuneaton has 153,000 to London which is about 100,000 less than would be expected given the size of the town and...

The original letter was to me from the DfT after I made a freedom of information request. Things are looking bad for keeping our virgin train service. We now have proper timetables and the 93 minutes to London is in fact 106 minutes. The virgin can do it in 56 minutes or 63 with 2 stops. We...

and then in Dec2008 we have most of our virgin trains cut. The only time we will have a virgin train stop at Nuneaton between 9am and 6Pm will be when Rugby to brimingham is closed.
