Initially there will be 9 services every weekday, rising to an hourly service of 15 services every weekday from 30 June 2003.
Journey times between Manchester and London St. Pancras will be an average of just over three hours. Trains will take an alternative route to Manchester, with stops at Luton, Wellingborough, Kettering, Market Harborough, Leicester, and Stockport.
