I see Grand Central are returning to service, albeit a reduced one as of July 26th. Good news for me as it makes my Thursday commute substantially cheaper as the times for that day line up with my working hours. Any idea what social distancing measures will be in place, also whether it'll be turn up and go or whether like LNER you'll have to make a reservation? Can't find anything in the press release to confirm or deny this. Also I notice it's Monday to Friday. I'd have thought Grand Central makes much of their money on a weekend so strange they're not running services then?

Oh goody! So they are! Those line up with my contracted hours for both Saturday and Sunday, so GC will be seeing a lot of my custom.

Probably a matter of keeping route knowledge up amongst other things rather than passenger numbers.

Is this just the Sunderland service that's returning or will the Bradford service return also?
