I have not seen this anywhere else other than The Times. Any evidence elsewhere?

This is Grand Southern Railway again isn’t it? Although he has a track record of having success so if he can modify it to have some new market then maybe a success? Can’t find the application or any other reference to it

https://www.railmagazine.com/news/2024/12/11/lord-hendy-gives-update-on-long-awaited-new-east-coast-main-line-timetable First Groups application from London to Sheffield twice daily service and London to Newcastle daily service are approved as part of the timetable.

Has Hull Trains open access bid for London to Sheffield going ahead then? By the read of the article it is. Northern Sheffield to Leeds fast service also approved. Be interesting to see if Lumo also gets its request

Thameslink is ran by GTR is it not? Its still private

Is there enough capacity line is single track with a short passing loop (cannot be used TPE which are 6 carriages). Ther is 1 TPE tph and 1 train every two hours on the Barton line.

Are there any plans to make the Grimsby to Leicester service hourly as planned

ORR has confirmed they have as well Here: https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/24331570.virgin-plans-direct-bolton-london-train-end-2025/

its from a network rail report but I can also verify it is correct.

Well they didn’t go bust there franchise was merged into GW franchise

One of them ended (XC) most services due to COVID and never reinstated them presumably due to cost cutting by the treasury. Grand Union does not serve Glasgow under its Stirling Plan.

That would be even more abstractive. Lumo is less so because its longer serves a different set of stops to Avanti and could serve a market under served such as Newcastle to Glasgow.

2 hourly TPE has been confirmed i think by TPE publically but we'll wait and see on that. How many more services could Lumo fit in to Edinburgh

I can see 10 cars being needed in the future due to high demand but two hourly might not happen due to capacity issues north of York and Newcastle to Edinburgh

Also remember CrossCountry are not running to Glasgow every two hours anymore much less now (how many is it?)

Well isn’t there an idea for an hourly service from Manchester to York via Wakefield as part of TPE timetable change? Initially it will be six and then going to hourly apparently

What changes are likely to happen to the buses in 2024 in North East Lincolnshire? Last year saw some major route changes, and I found a document from February 2023 saying one change would be number 9 and 10 going to 6 buses an hour instead of 4. Any other changes likely to see...

It will just be Northumberland Park? there are two Swinton’s, two Charing Cross’s etc

There is no flat crossing at Retford do you mean Newark?
