Im putting this thread here so that it can focus solely on the service patterns, I suppose we will know for sure in a couple of years when they apply for their timetable but if Bolton isnt electrified until 2016 then thats likely when these service patterns will come in so we have a few years yet.
The Blackpool from 2013.... Occasional extension of the current diesel voyager service from Preston?
Bolton, Telford Central, Shrewsbury by 2016.... Replacing a Pendolino to Manchester Piccadilly with a mini pendo and running it through to Blackpool via Bolton using the electrification and extra Pic platforms?
15 minutes saved to Glasgow.... This ones pretty obvious, the previous proposal to make a near non stop Euston-Glasgow service and extending the Birminghmam-Preston services to fill in the missing stops.
