Rewritting the LNWR (and some WMR) timetable (post-Covid)

Could the LNR timetable also be rewritten?

I'm sure it could, but I suspect they would want to keep any changes simple while things settle down.

I might actually make a post-covid LNWR timetable rewrite thread if I can.

When Covid lockdown eventually ends, and everything settle's down, could the LNR timetable be rewritten? In my opinion, the LNR timetable has been somewhat of a disaster, mostly due to the amount of capacity the WCML can hold. So why not rewrite the timetable?

EDIT: I'm no longer putting my ideas on this thread because it would be best for us to work on it together.

Definite no to through Euston-Liverpool services; they made a right muck of the WCML.

What I'd probably do if low peak demand remains is to switch to the ex-LM (i.e. split at New St) Saturday timetable (but add the 0134 northbound and 03xx and 04xx southbound).

Why would you run 4tph from Northampton to Rugby? One stopper should end at Milton Keynes, the other at Northampton with 2tph between Northampton and Coventry.

I can only think of about 50,000 regular users of the line, and a few dozen MPs and local authorities who would be decidedly annoyed with such a service specification.

I would be a bit unhappy if I used Canley, Berkswell and Hampton in Arden...
