Apparently they are the 06:15, 10:30, 13:30 and 17:30 services out of KX. All semi-fasts.
Looking quickly at the timetable, the only bottom of the hour trains to extend north of Newcastle currently are the:
0730, 0930, 1130, 1530 (GLC), 1630, 1830 and 1930.
This extension fills quite a few of those gaps. Particularly in the PM.
No I meant the 2nd train per hour to Edinburgh is the Newcastle Terminator extended to Edinburgh.
And VTEC as part of their franchise commitment have to introduce 3tph between Newcastle - London and Leeds - London and 2tph between London - Edinburgh by 2017
