Desiros down the main line would have represented a service enhancement for all those who prefer trains to resemble trains rather than aircraft cabins. Today's 12:49 EUS-CRW reaches Nuneaton in 71 mins; the 12:02 up requires 76 mins. As Jonathon has pointed out, these journey times will be bettered in the new timetable by changing at Crewe. The interchange penalty will depend on how well Rugby is managed in terms of cross-/same-platform connections vs last-minute musical platforms.[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
