Mod Note: It appears that there are currently four separate consultations underway between CrossCountry, LNER, Transpennine Express, Northern and Great Northern/Thameslink relating to the May 2022 timetable change and their ECML services. Links to all four are below and some documents have been attached for posterity (but note not all available documents have been attached). For the time being we would ask that members use this thread for their thoughts and comments on the various consultations as there is clearly going to be overlap due the winners and losers. We may split out some posts if a significant sub-discussion develops and would ask members to use the report function if they spot one to help us manage what could be quite a lengthy and complicated thread.
Note that also there is the Speculative Ideas sub-forum for anyone who wishes to discuss "my idea for..." type suggestions rather than what is proposed within the consultation documents. Please try, as much as possible, to stick to what has actually be proposed in this thread. Thanks!

LNER - https://lner.citizenspace.com/
Significant changes are planned for LNER's timetable from May 2022, building on over a decade of planning and investment including in our new Azuma trains and Network Rail's modernisation of the East Coast's tracks.
There will be 39 more LNER services each weekday and many more at the weekend too, with up to 17,000 extra seats per day between London, the East Midlands, the North of England and Scotland. There will be faster journeys to key destinations and changed stopping patterns.
We want to understand your views on our proposed timetable. We are consulting from 11 June to 5 August 2021.
You can read a summary of the changes for each station and give your views online through our consultation survey. You can also read the full consultation document as well as the proposed new timetable.
Northern - https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/eastcoast22
The new timetable will deliver the benefits of over a decade of planning and investment in the East Coast Main Line. Upgraded infrastructure and new train fleets across the route will mean better journeys for some passengers between London King’s Cross, the East of England, the North of England and Scotland – supporting the economy and helping to protect the environment – although the industry does recognise that some passengers will see service levels and connectivity reduced as a result of this timetable.
The timetable follows a detailed forecast of rail capacity on the East Coast following the East Coast Upgrade, and is based on a subsequent decision by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) in 2016 about how that capacity can be used.
Realising the benefits to long distance connectivity on the East Coast inevitably involves some changes to some existing local and regional services. This means that the timetable does involve a series of trade-offs which the industry is seeking views on. You can read more about these and the approach the industry has taken to developing the timetable here. We know a large proportion of passengers rely on our regional and commuter services, so want to make sure you have your say on how you could be affected.
The timetable is based on a series of decisions about investment in infrastructure and train fleets, as well as access decisions made by the ORR. This means that the structure of the timetable for May 2022 is fixed.
It may be possible to make some local adjustments based on the feedback received, with any wider comments about the balance of services considered for future timetable iterations. The aim is to have train plans in place by early Autumn to deliver the new timetable from May next year.

Welcome to the official consultation on CrossCountry’s May 2022 timetable.

We would welcome your thoughts to our consultation document which can be accessed using the link below.

Transpennine Express - From May 2022 is now on their website at; https://www.tpexpress.co.uk/about-us/our-plan/east-coast-mainline-consultation
We invite you to provide a response to the timetable proposed that TransPennine Express operates on the East Coast Main Line at the May 2022 timetable change. The downloadable files that are part of this consultation are:
As the planned May 2022 timetable is based on the timetable that was in place at December 2019, we have included that timetable for comparison purposes. Any additional documents that form this consultation will be uploaded to this page.
- ECML May 2022 consultation document for TPE services
- TPE North route East bound timetable May 2022
- TPE North route West bound timetable May 2022
- TPE North route timetable at December 2019
As the planned timetable affects stations on our core North TransPennine route (Liverpool – Manchester – Leeds – York – Hull – Scarborough – Redcar Central – Newcastle – Edinburgh) we have also included all stations on our North route in the May 2022 timetable for downloading rather than only those on the East Coast Main Line.
TransPennine Express will issue a strategic discussion document later this summer on potential service amendments and improvements for consideration at the May 2023 timetable change and also expects to issue a consultation on service changes required as part of the Manchester Rail Task Force process.
A document that summarises all responses received as part of this consultation will be published during August 2021. If you would prefer that your response was non-attributed in that report, please let us know.
If you have any queries regarding this consultation or would like a meeting to discuss it further, please contract Graham Meiklejohn, TransPennine Express Regional Development Manager, on [email protected]
Please submit your response by:
The closing date for all consultation responses to be received by is 2359 on 05 August 2021.
