I wonder how they have enough trains to do this? Have they just cut back on maintenance now that the Azumas are coming in soon?
Not sure but given the currently precarious position of the franchise I don't know why they want to run their quietest services on a weekday (the Newarks) on the quietest day of the week overall... by all means run a few York stoppers and take calls at Newark/Retford out of the xx30 departures from Kings Cross (xx00 from Edinburgh), but why they're running the Newark stoppers I have no idea. Where they will get the stock & crew from for this is a mystery, as is how they can afford it.
