1. Started last October, but worth including as the full service didn't start until the New Year: Lincoln finally has services to/from London which are both regular (albeit only every 2 hours) and run at times useful for tourists and other visitors to that city. The previous service consisted of one train a night, arriving well after dark and leaving again at crack of dawn the next morning - not only useless, but very expensive in dead mileage as both services required an ECS working to/from Leeds, 70 miles away.
2. Trans Pennine's Nova fleets have now all entered service.
