+London Midland have made the timetable for the period 19th May to early December 2013 available as a downloadable PDF
No major changes to the existing pattern of services BUT the following should be noted:
From Birmingham New Street (M-F):
0633 will no longer run - the first through train is now the 0654
NEW through service at 0714 - arrives London Euston 0927
From London Euston (M-F)
NEW through service at 0634 - arrives Birmingham New Street 0901
NEW through service at 0749 - arrives Birmingham New Street 1001
0813 no longer runs through to Birmingham
1713 now takes 2 hours 8 mins to Birmingham (was 2 hours 3 mins)
1813 now takes 2 hours 8 mins to Birmingham (was 2 hours 4 mins)
1913 now takes 2 hours 8 mins to Birmingham (was 2 hours 4 mins)
The extra minutes added to the three evening peak trains are due to operational reasons at Northampton. LM still aspire to bring London-Birmingham journey times down to 2 hours.
The +Chiltern Railways timetable for the same period is available as a downloadable PDF
No changes of any significance to Monday to Friday services (though Sunday services are improved). Intriguingly, the new 1847 through service to Kidderminster from Marylebone shows a catering symbol but does not promise a Silver Set (don't forget the 1915 will no longer go beyond Moor Street). Wonder if Chiltern will throw in a free tea for those passengers who find their fare rising from £27.50 to £55 if they want to stick to through trains...
