Open floor if so.

It serves as both a commuter and a tourist line. It is electrified. People frequenty complain about the service.

You think there are only three trains each weekday from King's Cross to Edinburgh?

I always thought the ECML went to Carstairs Jct?

Edinburgh and Carstairs Line from Haymarket East Junction to Carstairs South Junction.

Gwml?

Correct, only three trains each weekday cover the entire line from Paddington to Penzance, two up trains and one down train. There are of course many other trains that run from Paddington to Penzance but these take a shortcut from Reading to Cogload Junction.

 

[150222]

It's a congested line with commuter and longer distance services radiating from the same place.

 

[Robinson]

West Coast Main Line?

 

[Welshman]

Birmingham and Bristol line?
