Read a bit of the Middleton Press book about the line from Ipswich to Saxmundham, saw the gradient profile, not exactly flat
They seem to do 2 - 3 month stints with the engineering work at weekends. Would be nice when they finish so I can at least get a train at Chelmsford rather than get a lift to Shenfield when going home back to London on a Sunday evening.Shut for engineering works.
Seems like they're having a bad afternoon with a lack of stock running on the network and cancelling / altering trains.
I can't understand the struggles. This line needs serious investment once GA get the long-term francise and quickly!Been like that all week. A lot of peak short formations.
The short formations are fairly simple. Cut the fleet and attempt to run the rest harder - no great shock when come Autumn it goes about as smoothly as a lot of the wheelsets do at the moment! The list of units with motors cut out wasn't very pretty last time I saw it either.I can't understand the struggles. This line needs serious investment once GA get the long-term francise and quickly!
