Services and Current Operations
Lockerbie station, at one time, was one of only eight stations in the UK (some others being Long Buckby and Chester-le-Street) to be operated by a train company whose services did not call at that station. It is owned by Network Rail, and managed by First ScotRail but all services are provided by either Virgin Trains or First TransPennine Express. However, following some changes in franchises, there are now several other stations that are similarly managed.
In terms of services there is a train approximately every two hours to either Edinburgh (stopping at Haymarket) or Glasgow Central, and a service approximately every two hours to Manchester and Manchester Airport via the West Coast Main Line

Famous quotes containing the words services and, services, current and/or operations:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

“Gradually the village murmur subsided, and we seemed to be embarked on the placid current of our dreams, floating from past to future as silently as one awakes to fresh morning or evening thoughts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
