Are there any plans to increase capacity on the Manchester to Birmingham services with the extra voyagers coming in? I noticed today it was mostly 5 car sets today on those diagrams.

Experienced a refurb for the first time today with 2x refurbed 220s heading a peak hour service up towards Glasgow. It is certainly a big improvement on the old interiors with noticeably better legroom and tables which are appropriately sized for laptops. With 8 carriages it was busy rather than crowded, if XC can deliver this as a consistent experience it’ll be a vast improvement on what went before.

Agreed, and I've read somewhere that XC currently have a decent number of new TM's in training, so if that is correct, we may finally be turning a corner...
