There are, from time to time, suggestions in the forums for addtional NoG or NoE services. Sadly most are impractical - or are responded to with the "traditional" angst ridden hand-wringing - "what about the rolling stock!".
I did notice a very small potential this morning though when trying to work out how to get a delegate from Edinburgh to Manchester Airport on a Sunday Morning, something that might just work...
The first direct service from Edinburgh to Manchester on a Sunday Morning is the 10:10 Transpennine Express.
The first service from Perth to reach Edinburgh for an onward journey south is the 09.27 (to Glasgow 09.03).
If the TPX unit, which if I'm correct arrived into Edinburgh at 19.39 on the Saturday evening and was stabled for the interim 15 hours, were to be sent North to Perth at 20.03(ish) and stabled at Perth instead, this would deliver an improved Saturday evening service from Edinburgh-Stirling-Perth and could potentially form an 08.30 service from Perth to Manchester via Stirling & Edinburgh on a Sunday morning.
All subject to signing, training, network rail and so forth...
