Anyone think 1 perhaps 2 daily Cross Country services to/from Brighton and Newcastle would be a good idea. There used to be 2 services per day which opperated to/from Manchester and Brighton via Gatwick, East Croydon, Kensington Olympia and GWML. They were withdrawn by the DFt in 2008.
I've been looking at the current timetable and is it possible to run a Cross Country voyager from Eastleigh via Botley, Havant, Chichester, Barnham, Worthing to Brighton? Are they cleared along the route between Havant and Brighton?
1E86 0801 Winchester to Newcastle could be started from Brighton in the morning, and the 5E86 ECS could run to Brighton early morning to form the 1E86 Brighton - Newcastle service.
The 1O90 1335 Newcastle to Eastleigh service could also be extended to Brighton and then run ECS as 5O90 Brighton - Eastleigh TRSMD.
Just a suggestion......and do you think it would be well used?
Guildford see's 1 service per day too/from Newcastle
