    Midland Mainline services to Leeds: Unfair that the SRA blocked day time services?

    There is no 'fast' service that connects Leeds to the East Midlands. Currently it is just the northern stopper service to Nottingham. A regular 'fast' service from Leeds to say Leics would be welcomed, and will no doubt help with the high passenger load on XC going north at Sheffield.
