Although there are many operators that run services on the East Coast Mainline (ECML) between London and Edinburgh via Peterborough, Doncaster, York, Darlington, Durham and Newcastle, London North Eastern Railway (LNER) are the only operator which runs passenger services across its full length and operate more train kms along the route.
