Glasgow to Birmingham by train

Hourly connections are available, and in most hours only change of train is required to complete the journey (in Wigan or Warrington).
Though what's a tad odd, is that most of the end-to-end journeys currently being sold by Avanti West Coast show an additional connection in Wolverhampton, but the train shown to Wolverhampton will be continuing on to Birmingham.
