It wouldn't have affected your journey, anyway. They were planning to run a full timetable.

Runs as normal to Newcastle (usually Plat 4) where it then goes to Sunderland before changing ends and heading to Heaton.

The ECML basically is fully operated by Stagecoach, Virgin hold a token 10% stake which is essentially for branding purposes. After the GNER and NX fiasco this shouldn't still be happening, Stagecoach overbid for the franchise and they should have to see out their obligations and face the consequences.

Interesting to see private organisations involved in the running of LNER.
Arup (see involvement with Carillion) and French Canadian firm SNC Lavalin (see involvement with Gadaffi) amongst others.
The group will be led by Arup and will work under Government control.

LNER is to continue to use the Azuma name on the fleet of Class 800/1s.

Also, LNER branding is virtually everywhere. Seems like the Virgin brand will be eliminated within weeks.
