Good news that the addition of the new Pendolino this week means more services and extra seats over summer:

Edinburgh Pendolinos Mon-Sat
1051 Edinburgh - Euston via Birmingham
0843 Euston - Edinburgh via Birmingham
1451 Edinburgh - Euston via Birmingham

Mon-Fri only
New 0928 Glasgow Central - Euston (0940 has fewer stops)
1030 Euston - Lancaster extended to Glasgow

An additional Super Voyager is added to strengthen Euston - Chester services.

No summer declassified coach G though, although many busy services now seem to have this as standard.

Yep, also:

07:19 Birmingham N St to Glasgow Central
12:00 Glasgow Central to Birmingham N St
14:30 London Euston to Lancaster
17:36 Lancaster to London Euston
16:00 Glasgow Central to Birmingham N St

are now all Pendo vice Super Voyager

For North Wales:

09:10 Euston to Holyhead is now a double throughout, with the 13:58 return working being the same double-set back from Holyhead, not just south of Chester.

16:35 Chester Euston/19:10 Euston Holyhead also both doubles, not sure If 19:10 is double throughout.

Edit: I forgot to mention several Saturday Birmingham-Edinburgh/Glasgow workings are going to be double sets as well

No services will have, from the outset at least, Coach G declassified this summer as there is now extra capacity.

Although during August this service is standing all the way!

The problem will be less acute on a Pendolino though - previously it has been a Voyager, I believe.
