An intercity train stops primarily at large towns and cities. Acela looks like the only frequent intercity train from NYC, though I may have missed one as there are several daily Amtrak trains. The planned schedule for the new line in England will have the shortest train make only these stops, 3 times per hour: London Euston 0 miles London Old Oak Common 5 miles Birmingham 125 miles after 52 minutes And a longer one (also 3 times per hour) will make only these stops: London Euston 0 miles London Old Oak Common 5 miles Birmingham 125 miles (1 of the 3 per hour) Manchester Airport 205 miles That is nothing like a regional/commuter train. The existing regional train to Birmingham stops at Watford, Milton Keynes, Wolverton, Rugby, Coventry, Canley, Tile Hill, Berkswell, Hampton-in-Arden and Birmingham — that is like the Philly/LIRR/MNR trains.
