Certainly a good move for East Coast and Harrogate, makes sense anyway if there's a morning service to London to have a evening service as well.

YAY! That's fantastic news! Apart from the fact I'm unlikely to ever visit Harrogate, I think this will be very good! At least someone has some sense!

...Perhaps a bit over-excited for someone who's unlikely to visit Harrogate.

Any idea of a calling pattern?

No workings on TRUST yet but I do wonder if it's going to be a similar stopping pattern to the existing morning service to London from Harrogate.

Yeah, I can't imagine street parties in Yorkshire. Good news, but not *that* exciting

Presumably this is just the current 17.33 Kings Cross - Bradford, but extending to Harrogate instead. The 18.03 will now be a 225 seat (instead of HST), so the diesel is freed up to give a return working to Harrogate
