Would an off peak return RUG<>LIV be valid outbound via the Trent valley and return via BHM (or the other way round)? Avanti only connection at CRE. Many thanks…

Hi, Does anyone know the general line speed limits between Nuneaton and Birmingham vs those between Coventry and New Street via BHI? Many thanks.

At the present time, the Nottingham local service wouldn't be able to extend any further south - the speed limit of the 15x rolling stock is too low to intermix and extra units would be needed (that don't exist)...

Possibly TMs, possibly hosts. Coupled units generally run in the peak flow direction, so they'll be needed later on when they split.

HST formations are already 8 coaches.

Everyone travelling through, but not to/from, the GTR region with the peak flows (with Luton Airport Parkway connectivity maintained). The 2nd track will be 're'-commissioned soon, ahead of the timetable change.

The #tph is still maintained. The 1745 is the only scheduled use of the 6th path which inflates the current departure schedule, meaning a direct comparison doesn't quite work.

All that is specified is 2tph.

Timekeeping, fuel consumption and short platforms. Also, depot space.

...but this is for the GTR franchise to address though

Doubling back will be permitted

Yes, permitted
