Just a query: National Rail Enquiries

[OMGitsDAVE]

Hello!
I was looking at the live departure board for York to see when my sister would arrive, and oddly enough I came across a little change.

Have the 'East Coast' services always been called 'East Coast Mainline'?
I've never noticed this before, but it seems to be on all of the East Coast operations here.

Thanks for your help !

I believe the full name of the TOC commonly referred to as East Coast is "East Coast Main Line Company Limited".

It is.

I suspect a simple confirmation would be too short, so I will add that the service is very variable. Plenty of staff for cleaning but very unhelpfull gateline staff.

Until very recently it was still called National Express East Coast!

Maybe it only shows that for the trains to the north east and scotland and something else for the Leeds and other services? I dunno.. just speculating
