Maybe I picked an offpeak date, but this suggests to me the route has some serious issues.
Darlington-London trains are excellent. Even Eaglescliffe-London direct trains are OK. Maybe having AMS as the sole hub connection is for the best.
I suppose,that is the main reason the route is finished in a few days.
Not just Heathrow charges..but wrong aircraft..too small…and not enough passengers, a common problem in recent years at Teesside?
Someone being a bit ingenious blaming just Heathrow?
