| Last trains - Carlisle v Newcastle Posted by grahame at 20:33, 29th October 2026 |     |
From Markus Campbell-Savours MP (for Penrith and Solway) via Facebook
Why is the last train north from London to Carlisle on the West Coast Main Line at 7.30pm, while the last train to Newcastle on the East Coast leaves at 11.08pm?
Today I asked the Transport Minister whether, now the failed experiment of rail privatisation is over, the new publicly owned railway will finally give the West Coast the same evening services as the East Coast.

Hmm ... how are we doing in the South West these days? Last train to Truro, to Carmarthen?
Last week, we missed the last train from Oviedo to El Ferrol - it set off on time at 14:28. Yesterday we caught the last train from Entroncamento to Badajoz at 13:36, arriving at 17:26.
