Avanti West Coast is increasing its services
Seventy extra trains a week will come through Northampton station between London, Manchester, and Birmingham as part of a timetable shake up from Avanti West Coast. The operator is increasing its services as the first stage in a recovery plan to step up the timetable on its network.
In December, the timetable will be increased again to three trains an hour on the London to Manchester route. An additional service between Birmingham and London will also see a train at least every half hour.From next week until early December, up to ten extra trains a day, over and above the existing timetable, will run between Manchester and London on both weekdays and weekends.
Services on the West Coat Main Line were reduced in early August as result of drivers being unwilling to sign up for the overtime. This caused numerous short-notice cancellations and so the timetable was reduced to make it more reliable.At NorthantsLive we're more than just news. We cover what people are talking about every day and celebrate the very best that this incredible part of the world has to offer.
Barry Milsom, Executive Director of Operations and Safety for Avanti West Coast, said: “We know we’re not delivering the service our customers rightly expect and we apologise for the enormous frustration and inconvenience this is causing. The decision to reduce our timetable in August was not taken lightly but our customers and communities deserve a dependable train service, so we’ve been working hard to rebuild our timetable in a resilient and sustainable way.
