i agree i dont really seem the point of this as nottingham already has two trains to london an hour. The ECML is crammed and this would clearly be a waste of space that would be unfair for other areas on the line that might need better services. The only way i can see it would work is if it was a replacment for the present nott-lon fast service via MML.....i dont see the case for a third train an hour to london since there is already three an hour during the morning peak (and returning in the evening peak). There are probably quite a few services nottingham could do with but one to kings cross i think is not one of them...........
