Summary of timetable changes
Below is a summary of the changes. For full timetables, visit our timetables webpage.
Potteries service extended to Birmingham New Street
- From the December timetable change, our existing hourly Crewe to Stafford service will be extended south to Birmingham New Street, improving journey opportunities and connectivity.
Subject to future safety validation, this service will call at the relatively new stations Willenhall and Darlaston. This enhancement will provide passengers at both stations with a second service in each hour in each direction.
- The extension will also reinstate direct rail links between Birmingham/Wolverhampton and some stations in the Potteries area, reconnecting destinations that were lost in December 2023.
Marston Vale retiming - Bedford to Bletchley service
- Following close collaboration with the local rail user group and community stakeholders, weekday services on the Marston Vale line between Bedford and Bletchley have been retimed to better align with revised opening hours at the college in Stewartby.
- The changes will help ensure train services continue to meet the needs of local students and communities.
- In addition, the final Saturday evening service from Bletchley to Bedford, and its return journey, have been retimed to run slightly later. This will provide improved connections with later arrivals from London Euston at Bletchley, giving customers travelling to Marston Vale stations greater flexibility and allowing them to stay in London slightly later on Saturday evenings than they currently do.
