Realistically, whilst the pacers are indeed, horrific, 153s are not exactly an upgrade. What is the thinking behind hiring such antiqued stock? Was there no way of buying new stock instead in franchise or was the bid selection poor?

You ought to ask your operator why they are bringing in life expired trains rather than new ones like Abellio is doing and other franchises are doing up and down the country.

So if you know where the unit came from why don't you tell us? Otherwise it looks like you are merely spoofing and pretending to know something when you do not. I believe you don't actually know and are trying to point score. I think it's quite obvious if a train was cancelled due to a train...

You will have to ask Abellio that question, it is not one for me to answer since I do not work for them and have no connection and am just an interested observer. Since I do not know them, I am unable to comment on how nice they are but I do think that it's off topic for this thread @yorkie

So, like most of the people on here, you admit you are simply just guessing at what you are posting and trying to give the impression that you know something but you actually don't know anything at all? Greater Anglia have ways of contacting them, via phone, in person at stations, by writing...

Those of you who live in Suffolk, tomorrow there is a discussion on Mark Murphy's Breakfast show on BBC Radio Suffolk, where you can speak to Greater Anglia about some of the issues you believe you have been suffering from. Might be a good way for some people to speak to Abellio and get the...

Greater Anglia have no less trains in their DMU fleet than they did before this program was started and have considerably more carriages available, allowing people to travel in comfort and style.

Perhaps you should speak to the farmers to get their animals under control, call the almighty one to stop his random acts of weather and also speak to the local youth of the area about treating the trains they travel on with more respect. If none of these things, totally outside any operators...

It is incorrect to say that there have been 3 carriages that have been removed from service and only 4 carriages replacing them. The difference is far bigger than this. The number of vehicles in the active Greater Anglia fleet for local services is now at an all time high and is growing every...

I'm merely an interested observer who takes a keen interest in the railways - I have never been lucky enough to have any involvement. The Ipswich to Peterborough service was cancelled because of the fact that there are a number of trains which are unfortunately unavailable due to unfortunate...

I am staggered to read that you believe that it is acceptable that long suffering commuters should be subjected to class 153 units when there clearly is demand for longer units and better comfort. By removing class 153 units, people getting left behind will be vastly reduced and it will help the...

I'm new to the forum but after reading the last few pages of posts it's become very apparent that people have been making some perceptions of what they feel is going on with the franchise in Anglia at the moment and having read them there is an awful lot of speculation in relation to what is...
