Faster than 125 mile/h

摘要

East Coast Chairman Elaine Hoft welcomes Network Rail's recast ECML timetable, due to be introduced on May 22 2011 (RBI359 p4), because it delivers 'more seats, more services, a new destination in Lincoln and much better connections'. She told the All-Party Parliamentary Rail Group on March 1 that the new timetable, christened 'Eureka!', was 'virtually finished and just needed 'some tweaking around the edges'. 'Leedsrn- London will be 13 min faster', and with seven pairs of new King's Crossrn- Lincoln services 'there will be an additional 18 000 seats each week' along with 'a clockface timetable'.rnBut a complication for Holt is that 'Andrew Adonis has given me the challenge to deliver a "Flying Scotsman" service of 4 h from London to Edinburgh and return, so we are looking to introduce that as well - it will be a very fast service calling only at Newcastle'.
