Consultation to remove Direct Glasgow and Stirling services

From December 2024 LNER will withdraw its Glasgow and Stirling extensions.

Glasgow Central and Stirling proposals

London North Eastern Railway (LNER) ran an 8-week consultation from 22 January 2024 to 18 March 2024 on proposals to remove its Glasgow and Stirling extensions. 

The responses to LNER’s consultation on proposals to remove Glasgow and Stirling extensions demonstrated the importance that rail has to many.  

However, after careful consideration of the consultation responses, LNER has decided that it will proceed with proposals to remove the Glasgow and Stirling extensions from the December 2024 timetable.  

LNER recognises the importance of rail services for passengers, and that the planned reduction from December 2024 may raise concerns for people affected.
