Aparently the service will actually be called "East Midlands Trains". See this BBC news video report for details - http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6230000/newsid_6231000/6231008.stm?bw=bb&mp=rm
Should this article be re-named?
I would wait until Stagecoach themselves announce what they will be called. The press release on their website makes no mention of the brand name that will be used. --Jorvik 20:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge
See Talk:East Midlands Franchise. Simply south 14:22, 23 June 2007 (UTC) when is the idea of Lincoln to London goto come along by then??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.112.196 (talk) 18:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Colour coding
What colour should we use for the station (services) tables? Most are currently in red but this clashes with Virgin. Some have uses orange (which I agree with). Your thoughts please. --Mfarrow6483 18:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Timetable
- Weekend services to York and Scarborough will continue beyond the December 2008 timetable change.
- All services to and from Barnsley and Burton upon Trent will cease to opperate from the December 2008 timetable.
How much truth is in this? Has there been any offical word or are people just putting what they "think". Year1989 19:05, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Senior management who were part of the franchise bid, have given word that this is the case. Similar to what has been said of Skegness, and other things. What is actually in the public dommain is very little, what has been said to staff is much greater. Amgmichael (talk) 11:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I would like to know whos bright idea is was to have no services to Derby & Nottingham (if its true) from Wellingborough and then have only one service to Corby! in December. Wellingborough a growning town there should be more trains not less.Likelife (talk) 15:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Weasel words?
Where specifically are the ‘weasel words’ to which the banner is objecting? David Arthur (talk) 19:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Map of network and route map
Do you think its possible to get a route map like this one (on the right) and a network map simlar to ones on Tramlink and Sheffield Supertram. The first one will probably be better as we can use this in a new section or the bidding/history section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pafcool2 (talk • contribs)
- Having both would be a bit redundant, wouldn’t it? I think a map is more appropriate than a route diagram, since East Midlands Trains cover a number of separate routes that would be difficult to explain clearly with a single diagram. I’ll give some thought to making maps for this and other national operators — I wonder, should they be schematic, as I did for Tramlink (and like the official EMT map), or geographical, like Sheffield?

[edit] Class 222 from Hull Trains
How certain is it that EMT will be getting Hull Trains Class 222's in the future. I just thought it was a possiblity that could happen. But some people seem certain and have added a "Future fleet" section which I have removed once. Was I right? Year1989 21:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say you were correct to remove it as per WP:NOTCRYSTAL. DrFrench (talk) 22:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hull trains havent decided wether they are to keep them, or give them back yet. Remember they will need them if they start their new service... ACBestDog and Bone 20:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
