You want a regular service otherwise there is no point. So preferably hourly.

Can you post the full article???

Not all 51 185s are in use are they??? 1647272198 185s will be disappearing from the Cleethorpes route and replaced by Mark 5a and Class 68s in preparation for extension to Liverpool.

Less frequent services discourages travellers. Frequency is important so stick with 2tph and 3tph respectively! 1647172570 ps. Yes they do need 3tph long distance service have recovered more quickly post covid!

Long distance market also needs to have decent frequencies in order to get people off airlines and hs2 does help with that. 1647162184 But stopping wise we need a metro style service in cities

There is no plans to increase the number of NR platforms to 15!!!! You have no evidence it was 13 last time i checked even when they were cutting it to 10. Wikipedia uses this source...

No plans to replace the stock likely further voyagers and meridians in the future if they want to replace HSTs as they are being freed up by other operators

i thought it was 13 regular and originally 11 hs2 now cut to 10

Nothing will happen to those stations

Basically its being moved not closed.

I think it may reappear simply because it allows the Leeds to Lincoln service to run fast

Is there a feasibility study???? It was rejected in the restoring your railway! There is no case it would be too expensive to rebuild the railway. It’s an idea which is dead to begin with 1645978117 Here we go with principles: for Louth reopening 1. Yes 2. Not sure 3. No it’s been built on in...

Should come into force in the December 2022 timetable change and from May 2022 the Manchester to Cleethorpes service will start using Class 68s and Mark 5A carriages which will eventually be used on the replacement service from December 2022 (Liverpool to Cleethorpes).

Shrewsbury service stock would make no difference to any other services it is just an extension of the Birmingham service and makes a lot of sense.

Interesting i did think that but how do you solve the issues east of Leeds? West of Leeds has room for bay platforms but there isnt room for 6 through platforms is there?

London to Shrewsbury is about 2tpd 1645610740 There is no case for Manchester to Leicester service. Plus the Shrewsbury service is 2tpd thats all. Not going to make any difference to Scotland route end of. The difference with the other routes from Sheffield is that there is demand for a stand...

a decent connection at Sheffield would suffice i guarantee.

it really isn’t worth it.
