Grand Central promises more services and new trains for longer contract

"These proposed additional services are a significant step forward in Grand Central's long-term strategic development," said Sean English, Chief Operating Officer of Grand Central. "We are confident that expanding our operations will not only benefit our existing customers but also attract new passengers and stimulate growth in key markets."

"We believe these proposals are essential to providing customer choice within the rail industry and strengthening connections between communities across the North East and West Yorkshire with London."

With the introduction of up to two additional daily return services and more calls, we expect to see over 360,000 additional seats made available, representing a 50% growth on our services to West Yorkshire."

The debut of direct services from Seaham to London will significantly enhance passenger accessibility and convenience, marking a milestone by providing Seaham its first and only direct connection to the capital.
