The Office of Rail and Road has finally given the go-ahead for two of Grand Central’s trains in each direction to call at Peterborough, which is a key interchange on the East Coast Main Line with routes from Stansted/Norwich to the West Midlands and North West. The approval enables two existing daily GC services in each direction – one each from Sunderland and Bradford to London King’s Cross – to call at Peterborough starting Monday 22nd January.

On Saturdays the corresponding trains are 0955 from Sunderland (Peterborough 1255) and 0748 from Kings Cross (Peterborough 0836). No trains will call on Sundays.
