    How could Lumo expand/develop/improve?

    One of them ended (XC) most services due to COVID and never reinstated them presumably due to cost cutting by the treasury. Grand Union does not serve Glasgow under its Stirling Plan.

    How could Lumo expand/develop/improve?

    That would be even more abstractive. Lumo is less so because its longer serves a different set of stops to Avanti and could serve a market under served such as Newcastle to Glasgow.

    How could Lumo expand/develop/improve?

    2 hourly TPE has been confirmed i think by TPE publically but we'll wait and see on that. How many more services could Lumo fit in to Edinburgh

    How could Lumo expand/develop/improve?

    I can see 10 cars being needed in the future due to high demand but two hourly might not happen due to capacity issues north of York and Newcastle to Edinburgh

    Grimsby and Cleethorpes 2024 changes for buses

    First Group Sheffield - London via Retford open access proposal

    None as far as I am aware, any are anywhere near the end of the lease. Given it is due to start in the second half of 2025 it can’t be new builds surely?

    What's to come on the railways in 2024

    Top comment agreed. Early because of Covid, last year was the 15 March and in 1992 there was an early budget, next day an election was called. I think Labour change would change rail policy for sure. Arent some stations due to open in 2024? Top of my head would be White Rose, Leven and Cameron...

    What's to come on the railways in 2024

    Given the Budget is set for March 6 then its very likely the election is actually May which is now the rumour. Legally we cannot have it until december 2025 thats illegal. Current legislation dictates parliament to dissolve by the 17 December 2024 1703783212 You miss the point @RobShipway. The...

    Potential Grand Union stock?

    heard in one of Modern Railways August 2023 edition that it was to be delayed to 2027 due to the rolling stock acquisition issues. They have been considered HSTs as interim fleet according to the September 2023 edition of Modern Railways Page 17. They are basically looking at interim rolling stock
