.....Network Rail have withdrawn the authorisation for this passenger service.....
Surely that would be a decision for the ORR?

I have read somewhere that Network Rail have withdrawn the authorisation for this passenger service because of congestion. However the stock still has to get to Euston

“If Avanti operates the service as empty coaching stock, [it] can be run more flexibly – delayed or rerouted – than a booked passenger service. This can assist with performance management and service recovery during disruption.”
Well of course the railway runs more to time without passengers. But...
If I were the secretary of state for transport I'd be planning an intervention this morning.

From the December timetable change, this train will run to Euston empty : see https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/nov/29/avanti-axed-7am-manchester-london-train-will-run-without-passengers.
You couldn't make it up.
