On 8 March 2022, open access operators operated 20 per cent of all long distance high speed services from London to the north of England and Scotland using the East Coast Mainline. The Department does not keep records of the amount of capacity provided by open access operators; details of open access services are published in the National Rail timetable and on the operators’ own websites.
