From 17th December, Hull Trains’ customers will be able to arrive into London on weekends before 09:00am via an 06:20 train departing at Paragon Station. There will also be an additional service from Kings Cross to Hull, which departs London at 07:13am
Louise Mendham, Performance and Planning Manager at Hull Trains says: “We know that our customers want an additional earlier service to make the most of day-trips to the capital. We also want to bring as many people into Hull as possible to enjoy the exciting events that are planned during our city of culture year.â€
The company has also announced that from December 2016, some journey times from London to Hull will reduce. Thanks to behind the scenes work on small timetable amends, Hull Trains can now bring customers from London to Hull in under 2.5 hours.
Louise says: “We have been working on these service improvements for some time and are delighted to be able to launch them before the Christmas period. They’re all part of our commitment to our customers to give them the best possible journey experience.â€
