ORR protects the interests of rail and road users. We are improving the safety, value, and performance of railways and roads, today and in the future.
An ORR spokesperson:
"We have taken account of all the evidence and feedback, and we have given Network Rail and Avanti the go ahead to arrange for the 7am service to continue running with passengers. On the basis of the information we have, we believe the running of this 7am service could have a negative impact on reliability and punctuality of services on the West Coast Main Line, but we recognise its importance and popularity and will support its continued operation."
