I grew up close to Stowmarket (Suffolk) in the 1980s and I'm interested in what trains would have run through at this time.
What locomotives / carriages were used on GEML services between Liverpool Street and Norwich before the class 86 locomotives were introduced upon electrification around 1986~87? Did the "Intercity" branding start with the class 86s on this route or had it existed here previously? Did the frequency of services or journey time change much with electrification to Norwich?
If anyone has any memory of this or photos I'd be really keen to hear / see them! Thank you!
