I’ll believe this when the National Timetable is published- it should have been ready before 23 February! Why hasn’t it? I’m fearing ‘issues’ like in 2018!
A new London King’s Cross-Bradford Forster Square direct service is such a great idea so yes well done LNER. Also LNER is to introduce a new direct service to Huddersfield and hopefully new direct services to Harrogate, Scarborough, Middlesborough, Hartlepool, Redcar, Whitby, Battersby and Stockton.
