Only one train per hour stops at my local station throughout most of the day now, whereas we used to get two or three before. This is a direct consequence of the so-called 'upgrading' of the West Coast main line which has resulted in the severing of the link to Coventry across its tracks at Nuneaton.
Ironically, the upgrading of the signalling between Nuneaton and Leicester has effectively doubled the line's capacity!
