Lord Hendy gives update on long-awaited new East Coast Main Line timetable

Rail minister tells Transport Select Committee he's 'optimistic of a conclusion that will benefit all ECML users'

Lord Peter Hendy 13 Dec

Now that ministers say the primary focus is completion of HS2 Phase 1 between London and Birmingham ‘ ‘at the lowest reasonable cost’’, this would be my initial ideal. Some services would be quicker and would occasionally use a seventh West Coast Main Line platform if it’s necessary to sideline any badly late services. The proposed extras could be limited to prime times.
