Central Trains Information
Central Trains was a train operating company in the United Kingdom, running local and long-distance services in central England. The company’s operations were centred on Birmingham in the West Midlands. The longer-distance services were branded as Central Citylink.
The franchise covered 1,305 miles of railway, and had in its last years more than 43 million passenger journeys per year, travelling a total of 930 million miles.
On 19 October 2004, Transport Secretary Alistair Darling announced that at the end of the current franchise in 2006, Central Trains’ routes would be divided between the Silverlink, Chiltern, Virgin, Midland Mainline and Northern Rail franchises. The end of the franchise was delayed until 11 November 2007 when London Midland took over most of the routes.
