They would offer a twice daily direct service between Liverpool and Glasgow with intermediate stops at Preston railway station Preston and Carlisle railway station Carlisle . They would also run services between Nottingham station and Glasgow Central , a direct service lost after privatisation. The concept arose in 2004 , when Renaissance Trains entered negotiation with Network Rail for track access rights in order to operate services between the East Midlands , the North west and Glasgow . The initial proposal advocated running two trains per day between Glasgow and Liverpool Nottingham , by having a single train depart Glasgow, then divide at Preston, with half running to each destination. During the development of the business case, it was determined that running the Nottingham services via Leeds and Carlisle was a more viable alternative. Another possibility has been for trains to run to Blackpool .

Sovereign Trains is a Rolling Stock Operating Company ROSCO formed in 2007 as part of the same group as Grand Union Railway Grand Union . The company was initially formed to fund the purchase of rolling stock for Grand Central Railway Grand Central for its operations between London and Sunderland, Tyne and Wear Sunderland , which Grand Central leases from Sovereign. At present this amounts to six British Rail Class 43 HST Class 43 power cars and 24 British Rail Mark 3 Mark 3 coaches to form three complete trains. However, in 2007, Sovereign entered into a partnership with People s Republic of China Chinese manufacturer Nanjing Puzhen Rolling Stock Works CSR Ziyang to market their new range of trains in Europe, with Grand Central committing to operate the Polaris diesel electric multiple unit DEMU , should its track access agreement be extended. Grand Northern Trains Grand Northern will obtain similar new build rolling stock through Sovereign Trains at the same time should it be given access to operate its services. In 2010, Sovereign Trains sold its three HST sets to one of the major ROSCOs, Angel Trains , which then leased the sets back to Grand Central.
