I read it the wrong way - but there is talk of those trains being
connected to WCML stopping trains to relieve capacity at Euston for
the rebuild for HS2.

That ought to be permanent IMHO.

I hope not. It is far more civilised to board at a terminus.

Depends. Being given only ten minutes notice of which platform you have
to scurry down at Kings Cross to find your seat eight or nine carriages
away isn't very civilised. At intermediate stations like Peterborough
and Grantham you know exactly which platform, and where the relevant
carriage will stop (they have signs).

Indeed not. But most of the time platforms at Euston for LM services
are posted early, and where not regular users can guess as they are
very consistent.

However, many folks have travelled to the terminus by subway.
Ascending escalators, waiting for a train, and accessing one's
platform all add to the journey time.

True. But to me fastest is not necessarily best.

Rather wise words Mr. Williams. Thank you.
