That's interesting. Been in the pipeline for a while I think, I wonder what type trains they will use and how many carriages.? (I can not recall if Virgin West Coast have any direct trains between Blackpool & London?)

4tpd, one of which is a Voyager. Nothing on Sundays.
They leave Euston at 0646, 0854, 1036 and 1633 (Voyager), so match the GC times quite well.
They also call at Rugby, Warrington and Wigan, which GC don't.
They are generally faster than GC, despite being on slower paths than other 390s.

I think for the time being we'll keep the discussion in one place on the main thread which can be found here. But in the future we'll need separate threads for different aspects of this operation.
