📋 Tender Overview
LNER has begun an eight-week public consultation to seek views on proposals which would see two direct services to and from Glasgow Central and Stirling removed from its December 2024 timetable. As a result, some existing services will start and terminate at different stations.
The once daily services in each direction, outside of peak hours, typically see substantially fewer customers onboard as travel patterns have shifted in recent years from business to leisure. The areas impacted are already served by other train operators and the rail industry will work together to ensure customers continue to be well served by rail links.
LNER recognises the importance of rail services for passengers and that the proposed reductions, however limited, may raise concerns for people in the areas affected. The consultation provides an opportunity for people to have their say and for LNER to hear the views of its customers and communities.
LNER would still call at Stirling as part of its daily service to and from Inverness.
The public consultation is open from Monday 22 January 2024 to Monday 18 March 2024, after which feedback will be carefully reviewed. Views can be submitted by email to timetablechanges@lner.co.uk, or at LNER Freepost, RTUH-TUGH-GCLZ, Cramlington, NE23 1WG.
