While additional services to the South West are welcome I can’t help feeling that, as not everyone wants to travel to or from London or the South East, a service to challenge the Cross Country monopoly of services to the Midlands and the north would be even more welcome.

It should look to more services towards the North, Birmingham, maybe further afield
