I traveled back to Leeds on the new provider a few days ago and I have to say there is no difference in service really. I guess I shouldn't have expected there to be, after all they are using the same staff and the same trains, lol Ah well thats good to know.

To be fair I had heard on the local news that NE would be taking over the east coast line, but I had no idea if that was the train to Leeds or not! Its pretty much the exact same train cept with NE written on the side an not GNER! But you get free WiFi in First Class and Standard, its a bit crappy but its ok I guess! But as Norm pointed out, they'll probably up the ticket prices since htey need to pay for the free WiFi somehow .. :S Yeah, as Norm said I caught the train back home the other day and was trying to buy my ticket from GNER and then discoverd that National Express had taken over.

Apparently National Express East Coast now offer free wireless on all their East Coast mainline services. Whch is nice.
