More About Silverlink Trains

Silverlink Train Services Ltd is a train operating company in the United Kingdom, with routes in North London and from London to Northampton, previously to Birmingham via Coventry prior to 2005. It is owned by National Express Group plc.

Ironically, Silverlink trains operate on the old LMS route to the north, the LNER's greatest rival.

Future Of Silverlink Trains

It has been announced that the Silverlink franchise will finish in November 2007. From that time, Silverlink's operations will be split between Transport for London and a new West Midlands franchise. Therefore, Silverlink County and Silverlink Metro will become Defunct UK Train Operating companies.

• London Overground

Silverlink Metro services (the North London Line, the West London Line, the Watford DC Line and the Gospel Oak to Barking line) will come under the control of Transport for London under the banner of the London Overground.

• West Midlands Franchise

Silverlink County services will be merged with part of Central Trains to form a new West Midlands franchise. The Department for Transport announced on 19 September 2006 that three parties had pre-qualified for the new franchise.

• Willesden Depot

Alstom had proposed to withdraw from the Willesden train maintenance depot. Closure would have left the Class 313 trains homeless. On May 12, 2007, Silverlink took over direct running of the depot and its staff for the final six months of its franchise. Alstom will continue to operate four depots on the West Coast Main Line, at Wembley, Oxley, Longsight, and Polmadie.
