ALT Stephanie Tobyn, ORR’s director of strategy, policy and reform: “We recognise the potential advantages of competition on the West Coast Main Line, which is why we approved in 2024 the new London-Stirling services. “However, it’s clear the southern end of the route requires space in the timetable to provide resilience. Additional services within the current timetable structure and planned capacity use would further weaken punctuality and reliability, not just at the south end of the WCML but elsewhere as well.” ORR logo
