Fair play to those local authorities pitching their ideas for lots of through services to Norwich and Ipswich, but the reality today is that the enhanced hourly service promised by GA from May 2020 Ipswich to Peterborough has been abandoned UFN cus of infrastructure constraints, "mostly level crossings" as the GA presentation noted. I suppose they have got a good few years to sort it out, but if they cant operate an extra 7 trains a day each way on four years notice, I am not optimistic the infrastructure east of Camb will ever accommodate these proposals.
As an aside anyone need some nice brand new Stadler bimodes? GA will have 3 or 4 sitting around looking nice if they cant spend their time going to Peterborough and back.
