Real time trains always says 158.
Two diagrams are 3- car 170s the other (next working the 1735 ex-Nrw) is a 2-car. Many trains are full & standing due to Engineering works on the GEML,No problem. Anyone know what class Cambridge to Norwich is today?
Or is there a site where I can check that? Real time trains always says 158.

Full of drunks I would imagine.Right - I know. I was hoping to go back via London. Will the 11pm train be full though?

No. The open data used by sites such as Open Train Times, Realtimetrains etc does not display what type of traction is booked for any given service.No problem. Anyone know what class Cambridge to Norwich is today?

From Cambridge to Norwich. Tried to catch East Midlands train but there is no 11pm service.11pm train to?
Ah, yes. Used the last East Mids from Peterborough/Ely a bit back in the day, almost always a few 'well oiled' pax from Thetford on a Saturday - going for even more in Norwich.From Cambridge to Norwich. Tried to catch East Midlands train but there is no 11pm service.
Earlier this week there was a 156 covering a GA Nowich- Cambridge diagram and two successive East Mids services to/from Norwich where also formed of a 156. You would have self destructedFrom Cambridge to Norwich. Tried to catch East Midlands train but there is no 11pm service.
They've started early. Cleaners met my Cambridge at Norwich to clear vomit from the aisle. **** walked passed two toilets too.Ah, yes.

But as you say too early for you
Arghhhh ... If Pax do that to a Taxi its £50+ fee. Should TOCs do likewise?They've started early. Cleaners met my Cambridge at Norwich to clear vomit from the aisle. **** walked passed two toilets too.
Everybody has been working together to make this work & in particular sort out the 9P92 issues around the Ipswich area. The omission of any freight to/from Felixstowe today will no doubt of helped.Today resulted in the best daily set of 4 runs to date.
(If RTT is correct) three RT and just one (am down) 1L.
That and the pesky IK45 starting out from Wickford this morning - (with Southend V shut).Everybody has been working together to make this work & in particular sort out the 9P92 issues around the Ipswich area. The omission of any freight to/from Felixstowe today will no doubt of helped.

TSR through the station as well as the Gypsy Lane long term one maybe the reason.What happened in the morning around Stowmarket?
What were the pax loadings like?I travelled on the 11.00 & 17.00 today.
The 11.00 left 1 minute late and arrived 1½ minutes late. It was slightly delayed by signals at Stratford. (But got me to Norwich in time for a last ride behind a Class 37).
The 17.00 left 20 seconds early and arrived 4½ minutes late, delayed several times by signals after Shenfield, including coming to a stand outside Liverpool Street.
I was impressed with the urgency and efficiency around both services, by staff both on & off the train. Stops at Ipswich were just 60 seconds and 57 seconds. These trains are like going back to the old days of a small number of crack expresses on a route.
It was the same train in both directions and with only 8 coaches. Is this a dedicated set with one coach removed.
The sets are rotated around as otherwise would cause imbalance in mileage accumulation for maintenance cycles. There are numerous sets short formed to 8+DVT.It was the same train in both directions and with only 8 coaches. Is this a dedicated set with one coach removed.
What were the pax loadings like?
My daughter travelled on 9P92, 19.00 down tonight as far as Ipswich, reported about half full. RT to Halifax Junction then sat for about 4 mins awaiting the Ipswich-London stopper, which set out 5L without obvious (to me at least) cause. The 'fast' was then 4L leaving Ipswich and 5L Norwich.

This seems to be a familiar pattern - the only service virtually guaranteed to be on time is the 9:00 from Norwich.Todays score
NRW - Norwich LST - Liverpool Street IPS - IPSW
09:00 NRW - LST arrived on time
11:00 LST - NRW Arrived on time at IPS but 3L at NRW
17:00 NRW - LST Departed IPS on time but 5L at LST
19:00 LST - NRW 2L at IPS and arrived NRW 1L
The 11:00 appears to have caught the previous service around diss and followed it into Norwich.
