Grand Central to launch Blackpool service in spring 2020 [Railway Gazette]
Date: 25/06/2019
UK: Plans for a Blackpool London open access service are firmly on track, with the launch now expected in spring 2020, Grand Central said on June 24. In June last year the Office of Rail & Road granted Alliance Rail Holdings Great North Western Railway rights to operate the service. The project has now been transferred to sister Arriva group company Grand Central, which operates open access trains from London to Yorkshire and northeast England. Grand Central said this would enable it to draw on a larger pool of expertise and resources.
