- The initial weekday pattern offers two northbound services and one southbound, reducing to one each way at weekends.
- The inaugural train left Glasgow at 18:16 on December 16 and arrived at King’s Cross one minute early following a launch event.
- Advance fares start from about £33.10 between London and Glasgow and £10.90 between Newcastle and Glasgow, with end-to-end trips under five and a half hours depending on the service.
- The all-electric operator is preparing a Stirling–London Euston daily route from May 2026, with backers saying the expanded links could shift trips from air and road, including for Glasgow’s 2026 Commonwealth Games.
