Edinburgh to Oxenholme by train

The train service between Edinburgh and Oxenholme is split between trains operated by Avanti West Coast and trains operated by TransPennine Express.

The usual timetable during the day is arranged so that in most of the even hours a train operated by TransPennine Express departs; and in some of those hours, an Avanti West Coast service leaves around 40 mins later.
Meaning that there are no departures in odd hours ( though early Sunday mornings are an exception).

The Avanti West Coast services have the faster travel time.
