What trains will actually use Curzon St. now that HS2 has had all its limbs cut off? Yes, the trunk from Euston, sorry London, will provide 3 trains an hour, but there is no connection to the East Midlands (HS or conventional), and any train heading north will very quickly find itself on the WCML. Current northbound services from Birmingham (New Street) are routed via Wolverhampton and Stafford, so sending these into Curzon St. would only further congest the WCML south of Stafford. And as the main Birmingham to Manchester service is currently provided by Cross-Country….
