Avanti stopping patterns

[mangyiscute]

Also when I travelled to Haymarket on an Avanti service recently a lot of people got off there - it relieves a lot of pressure from people potentially changing at Edinburgh as almost anyone heading further into Scotland would change at Haymarket instead.

Runcorn together with Widnes are part of the Borough of Halton and have a combined population of 124,000 which in my opinion justifies having its service to London.

The Avanti stop at Haymarket is mainly down to putting space between it and any train travelling along the Up Midcalder, which is not limited to the fast and slow Shotts services, but also freight coming off the Suburban Lines at Slateford (which then has a constant uphill slog to Midcalder Junction, or Cobbinshaw for Carstairs routings).

haymarket is an extremely popular changing point. Lots of passengers alight for Inverness and Aberdeen as much easier walk than at Waverley. It’s a useful stop

Haymarket is also very useful for Edinburgh residents! It's closer to a good chunk of the city and for other parts it's a much, much, much nicer and easier change to your bus home — you don't have to negotiate the crowds on Waverley Steps and Princes Street!
