No more direct trains from London north of Edinburgh on the East Coast

We've seen how the Inverness Courier has raised alarm over the possible loss of the Clansman service to and from London now a Tayside paper is warning that there may be no direct trains from London to any destinations north of Edinburgh on the east coast line:

'A joint campaign by local authorities and other organisations to keep the direct link has been recommended by Dundee's top planning official.
City development director Mike Galloway, in a report due to be submitted to councillors this evening, said there are three direct daytime trains in each direction between Dundee and London Kings Cross.' More on the other Courier site.
