I've just read an article in the Eastern Daily Press that tells us that the last timetabled loco hauled train on the GE between Liverpool St and Norwich has run. It says because of the Coronavirus issues there was no celebration run to mark this event, which seems a pity after about 170 years of loco hauled trains. Seems the 91's are off to freight work and the coaches will be scrapped because they don't comply with the current PRM requirements.
I remember watching Britannia's at Thorpe Junction as a child, EE Type 4's (D200 was one) and 47's before being part of the electrification project north of Colchester and the introduction of electrically hauled trains.
Seems a pity it's passed without some form of recognition.
