Mark Garnier, MP for Wyre Forest, has welcomed the news that Chiltern Railways is launching a brand new timetable - with direct trains to London arriving 40 minutes earlier than they do currently.
Direct trains from Stourbridge and Kidderminster will now take less than two and a half hours to arrive at the capital, and for the first time peak services will include the popular 'silver trains' - equipped with the premium Business Zone and Espresso Bar. The silver trains will also now be available on Saturday mornings.
Mark said, "Chiltern's new timetable is a welcome announcement. Shaving 40 minutes off a journey to London is a significant improvement. As a regular commuter to London, I certainly look forward to examining the timetable to see how it might fit my schedule. But I do welcome their efforts."
