But then that reinforces Clansman's point that the North East and London are emphasised at the expense of Scotland, Yorkshire and so on. Let's be honest, they've just picked the closest historical-sounding name that hadn't been used already,
It's nothing new, LMS ignored all the North Western cities it served. Midland Railway went slightly beyond the midlands, as I recall...
And has is often pointed out, the ECML doesn't spend a lot of time on the actual east coast of the country, though it does better than the WCML.
