Inverness is a growing City. Yes it is quite well served by airlines but there is absolutely no justification for cutting it's link to London. I've travelled on the HC around 12 times in the last 4 years and each time patronage has been fairly busy North of Edinburgh. I am actually disappointed that there is no direct link via the WCML as there once was given the growing nature of Inverness.
What happened to that proposed open access service between Euston and Stirling out of interest? Another victim of the pandemic? I guess if this was to go ahead and LNER did can the HC....then it could always tender for a limited stop service from Euston to Inverness given that no one else would apparently provide this service.
'Clipping' a network has been seen before after the introduction of new trains. Most notably Virgin XC in 2002 on. Surely though...lack of stock capacity isn't the issue?
