<p>The business case for High Speed 2 assumes two HS2 trains per hour between London
and Scotland for 16 hours per day, providing a total of 34,000 seats between London-Glasgow
and London-Edinburgh on HS2 (splitting or joining at Carstairs) in both directions
each day.</p><p> </p><p>These trains will use the West Coast Main Line and HS2 Western
Leg, rather than the East Coast Main Line. There will, however, be a connection onto
the East Coast Main Line at Church Fenton allowing HS2 trains to connect London and
the West Midlands to York and the North East. Final decisions on the train service
will be made closer to the opening of HS2.</p>
