The LNER 1230 train from Kings Cross to Newcastle appears to have an unadvertised extension. My brother-in-law has booked a holiday in London, and gets train tickets as part of the deal. On the train back, he's been booked on the 1230 from KGX on Monday 27th May, which is supposed to arrive in Edinburgh at 1714. He asked me if the train terminated at Edinburgh, or went further (Inverness, Aberdeen of Glasgow). I checked the timetable on the LNER web-site, and found it actually terminates at Newcastle. It DOES go to Edinburgh, but from the 9th September! I told him to ring LNER, which he did. They (LNER) said that the 1230 WOULD be extended to Edinburgh on the 27th because it's an English (not Scottish) Bank Holiday. Despite that, LNER have NOT corrected the timetable on their web-site. In view of this, has my brother-in-law got grounds for concern, that it WON'T go to Edinburgh?
