RE: Abellio East Midlands Railway
Network Rail have uploaded the December 2020 track access agreement, confirming the intention to replace the entire HST fleet by the Hull Trains 180s. Even with cl.360 working to Corby and consistent pathing that seems hyper-optimistic.

No mention of splitting the Liverpool-Norwich service - indeed some trains that currently only run east of Nottingham are extended to Sheffield. Hopefully the DfT has recognized that the Liverpool end cannot be transferred to either of the alternative showers.

Just noticed that a note which appears on the wrong page refers back to replacing Liverpool Lime St with Manchester Piccadilly on the base Norwich service, but not on the "odds and sods."
