About I am recommending the section London Euston-Birmingham New Street set in 2010, High-speed services take 1hr 11mins - 1h 22mins, and the equivalent commuter service takes about an hour longer. Services The current principal operator on the West Coast Mainline is Virgin Trains, which operates the majority of long distance services on the route. Virgin operates 9 trains per hour from Euston with 3 trains per hour to Birmingham & Manchester, 1 train per hour to Chester & Liverpool and 13 trains per day to Glasgow & 6 trains per day to Holyhead. There is also one train in each direction to Wrexham. Additional terminating services run to Preston, Lancaster and Carlisle. London Midland provides commuter and some long distance services on the route, most of which terminate at London Euston. They are all operated under the "Express" brand. There is one train every 30 mins to Northampton, calling at the majority of stations en-route, one service every hour is extended to Birmingham. This service is roughly an hour slower than the equivalent Virgin Trains service. London Midland also operates an hourly service to Crewe, which serves Watford, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Rugby, Nuneaton, Atherstone, Tamworth, Lichfield, Rugeley, Stafford, Stone, Stoke on Trent, Alsager and Crewe. A service to Tring is offered every 20 minutes from Euston calling at Harrow & Wealdstone, Bushey, Watford Junction, Kings Langley, Apsley, Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted, with an hourly extension to Milton Keynes, which additionally calls at Cheddington, Leighton Buzzard and Bletchley. Rollingstock Class 390 (Virgin Trains) Class 221 (Virgin Trains) Class 321 (London Midland) Class 350/ 1,2 (London Midland) Class 66 (EWS, Freightliner) Class 86 (Freightliner) Class 90 (Freightliner) There may be additional AI only services
Never going to go all the way to Birmingham, but we can only hope. It has been semi confirmed that we will get the west coast main line, but it will be London Euston-Milton Keynes central most likely.
