A 755/4 at Ipswich platform 1 this morning. So I assume they're being introduced on the East Suffolk line Ipswich to Lowestoft?

Yes stunning amount of work done at Victoria sidings with points in place, track laid and overhead masts raised on adjacent main line too.
Diesel tanks where reduced as weight issues would have prevented 755s running on Sprinter speeds.

There are about 5-6 170s left am I right? If so, are they being stored and prepped for the journey to Wales or are they on diagrams?

Trowse Junction.Victoria sidings? Where’s that?
Trowse Junction.
I'm not travelling in the AM peak, so street parking near Cranham & catching the (free 'cos I'm old...) bus to Upminster works for me.
I do like the c2c weekend service to Stratford & Liv. St, very useful. Pity it's weekends only..........
Looks like we'll be having at least one diagram on the Ips-Cambridge route as a 755 next week - just saw a poster at Thurston saying some trains not stopping at Elmswell as of Monday. Presume ASDO not yet nailed there?. Shame it wasn't sorted in time for the Bury Christmas Fayre, 2 and even the lonely 3 coach unit, totally rammed flying up and down the line today.
Now put back to tomorrow, apparently. Trains are making all the stops today.
The stops were reinstated yesterday. Was that just a teething issue?The stops that the 755s are missing out, will apply to all stock on those diagrams, so if a 156 or a 153 is in for the booked 755, they will miss out the same stops.
That will be interesting we only got the email yesterday outlining the arrangements ! (Kennett / Elmswell and Dullingham) ! so be it a 755 or a 153 certain trains will be fast at certain stations ! (oddly Dullingham only has one not stopping)The stops were reinstated yesterday. Was that just a teething issue?

One 755 seems to be missing from the Norwich-Cambridge service today (0533 NRW-CBG, 0700 CBG-NRW, 0840 NRW-CBG and 1010 CBG-NRW all cancelled so far). Is this just bad luck, or have they pulled a 755 off this route in order to put it on the Cambridge-Ipswich route?
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detailed/CBG/2019-11-26/0959 says that the 09:59 arrival from Norwich was cancelled. I was on it, and it definitely ran. It looks like it returned as the 10:10 back to Norwich.
Can someone tell me what this means in plain English
Which, being cynical, was probably the intention.The one system/supplier bit will be lost on the majority of the target audience.
and can someone explain (again) why they don't seem to be running with electric Ipswich to Stowmarket!
Essentially, it's saying the trains have lots of advantages over the older trains, but it sounds like they've been having problems with one system on the train (believe it's ASDO).
Not yet.Are they actually using the Bi-Mode capability at all? I don't Norwich - Cambridge is either?
