Remember the old idea of GN being lumped in wholly with the
East Coast inter city franchise? That didn't last long.

I thought the proposal was just the non-Thameslink/non-Moorgate
services to Kings Lynn (which are supposed to have 377's not 700's)
was all that might have been moved? Makes some kind of sense given
the distance involved [1] and the fact those trains will continue to
terminate at Kings Cross.

[1] Kings Lynn is as far north as Litchfield and only ten miles shy
of Grantham and Nottingham.

Lichfield even.

The GN being lumped in wholly with the East Coast inter city franchise idea
included 5-car IEPs to Lynn, IIRC. That idea lasted well.
