AS a regular user of GNER's East Coast Main Line to London from York, I was delighted to see that Gillian Cruddas, chief executive of York Tourism Bureau, was extolling the virtues of GNER as being "different from some other companies in the fact that it is destination-led" (January 24).

Thank goodness for that, I say.
