#London Northwestern Railway (LNR) has launched Standard Plus seating on many services, offering passengers a dedicated area with additional at-seat features.
The trial follows the introduction of its new Class 730 electric #trains, which have added more than 40,000 seats at peak times, increasing capacity on routes serving London Euston.
Passengers can purchase upgrades on board, with Standard Plus tickets available online for journeys from 16 November.
The service is being introduced on four routes: Birmingham New Street–London Euston, Crewe–London Euston via Lichfield Trent Valley, Northampton–London Euston and #Birmingham New Street–Liverpool Lime Street.
LNR customer experience and commercial director Jonny Wiseman said the additional capacity had enabled the operator to offer passengers the option of travelling in a dedicated carriage.
Standard Plus will operate on a trial basis until 31 March 2027.
