More seats, more journey options between West Midlands and Scotland
The Scotland - West Midlands route has been one of our fastest growing sectors. Between 2008 and 2013, growth in passenger numbers between Birmingham and Edinburgh has been 235%, and between Birmingham and Glasgow an even more impressive 261%.
From December, 24 of the 28 services that currently start or terminate in Birmingham will be extended through to London Euston. This will offer new direct journey options connecting the major regional centres of Milton Keynes and Coventry with the North West of England and Scotland's main cities.
Further changes will see five-car Super Voyagers mostly replaced by two Super Voyagers joined together and running as a single service, or by nine or 11 car electric Pendolinos. This will boost weekday seats from 9,656 to 12,967 - an increase of 3,300 a day.
