The return of Liverpool – Scotland trains will be fantastic. I went to Glasgow recently and there were a fair few people who detrained from the Liverpool – Preston train at Wigan NW and boarded the subsequent Pendolino to Glasgow, so I'm sure it will be a well patronised link.

There seems to be some mixed messages as First and DfT were suggesting the existing Liverpool to Newcastle will be extended to Edinburgh and the new TPE Liverpool to Yorkshire service on Chat Moss from December 17 will be picking up calls at stations currently served by the Northern Liverpool to Manchester Airport service.
