Anyway, one bit of news I missed yeaterday - it looks like Deutsche Bahn has taken over Grand Central trains (thats the train outfit that runs directly between London & Halifax). It looks like the German state railway - which has also owned Arriva for the last 9 months - has intentions to develop services in the North with more routes to London. A little bit of competition, then for Virgin and the UK state owned East Coast line. You never know, maybe we could see a Blackpool-Accy-Toddy-London service. That should be fun.
