London to Birmingham:

Currently 1 hour 24 minutes, would be shortened to 45 minutes. A saving of 39 minutes.

London to Manchester:

Currently 2 hours 8 minutes, would be shortened to 1 hour 38 minutes. A saving of 30 minutes. Although from 2032 it would be 1 hour 8 minutes, a saving of an entire hour.
This is of course all based upon the drivers not being members of Bob Crow's union....

Possibly that should be written into the contract....
