London Service: Lack of wifi on Amtrak meant I missed the exciting announcement that First Group has been successful in their bid with the ORR to run 5 open access trains a day between Edinburgh and London, stopping at Morpeth and Newcastle. This is on top of the already announced extension of TPE Liverpool – Newcastle services on to Morpeth and Edinburgh. Taken together, Morpeth to Edinburgh will become simple with a frequency of better than hourly, whilst the 5 Morpeth – London services will also give much more choice as to times of travel. Sadly, the new London service won’t start until May 2021. For SENRUG’s reaction, see our Press Release.
