Great to see EMR introducing a later last southbound train.
2147 Ex Sheffield calling at principal stations to London
This should improve mid/late evening travel opportunities from the north and the Midlands to Leicester, Market Harborough and Kettering etc.
Very impressed with the EMR Intercity timetable - one or two gripes perhaps but overall most impressed with what I have seen.
Main change I would make
1F85 22:32 St Pancras to Sheffield I'd run half hour earlier departing 22:05 to give a better balance in the evenings post 21:30 departing St Pancras, 05 for Sheffield and 35 for Nottingham.
22:05, 22:35 and 23:05 also to call at Bedford, 23:35 should really call at Bedford and Wellingborough for last connections.
Also surprised about some open stops at stations north of Bedford after midnight. East Coast make all theirs set down only.
Last Up Sheffield should really call Wellingborough, Bedford and (maybe) Luton Stations (maybe set down) rather than non-stop from Kettering for last up connections really.
First Up from Derby should really call at Kettering, Wellingborough, Bedford and Luton Stations too
However minor gripes in the grand scheme of things, very impressed with this timetable.
