Lots of disruption on west anglia today, 1K81 1427 Norwich Stansted Airport according to RTT is 755407 and has just arrived in platform 2 (the bay) at Stansted Airport. Didnt realise you could squeeze a 4 car 755 in there?

1709820123 This was from the 2021? consultation. Not sure how much it has moved on since then

yes, that is that decided then, and rail industry needs to get with the government programme: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65e8581eea2f36001a3c8970/E03057752_HMT_Spring_Budget_Mar_24_TEXT_20pt_LP_PRINT__2_.pdf: 4.14 At Spring Budget, the government is giving the green light...

during Ipswich tunnel closure in 2004 there were two 47 hauled trains each way on weekdays Norwich - Liv St via Camb (some via Tott Hale some Seven Sisters IIRC), see this thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/geml-closure-31-01-to-22-03.111161/ 0630 Norwich - Liverpool Street 1212...

0900 till end of day yesterday only about 6 trains ran through to Stansted Airport, today hourly from LivSt, nothing from Cambridge. Anyone know what has caused such a major/ lengthy failure?

anyone any info on what 0Z99 is, what it is rescuing (1B65 is 1345 Stansted Apt - Liv St) and where it is going now thanks

indeed - on 720s the absence in the bays of even small 365 style tables to put a coffee on is very poor

Well fact of potential recast might be public info, but in the case of WAML no proposals have been made public or consulted on. Interested to see whether timetable will be speeded-up taking into account the much better performance of 720s/745s v 317s Do you know if/when the decision will be...

In a non-siloed world Stansted, Cambridge, Ipswich and Norwich would all have direct services alternating to Birmingham and Liverpool (Ipswich is just as large a destination as the others and could equally justify through services beyond Peterborough). The Ipswich service could join/split at...

saw a tweet the other day from a marshlink regular saying the old peak extras Rye - Ashford are never coming back as no longer justified post covid, and proposals for battery units are not being progressed as all too difficult/expensive. If those things are not worth bothering with, prospects...

If this project progresses there will be a small amount of additional capacity https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/ponders-end-loop.229914/

None of GA or DfT or NR thought there would be less than 2TPH. Although the proposed timetables were never published the franchise agreement was based on a speeded up standard Norwich - LivSt time of max 1hr45min, allowing 2TPH to be resourced with 8 745s, per franchise specification set out...

I think dk1 is saying the Norwich Liv St service no longer includes the peak extra that used to sit in Orient Way all day (or go to Bounds Green for servicing as happened for a while) The basis problem with the 745 arises because the promised timetable re-cast has not been delivered. The order...

Really should be able to find a Stansted 745 to cover Norwich service, Stansted service is half hourly all day Saturday

Abellio ordered 10 1st class Stadlers on basis of speeded up timetable 1hr40/45 Norwich LivSt and units diagrammed on a 4hour cycle, so 8 covered base timetable, one peak extra, one spare/maintenance. The bimode order was to cover extension of all Norwich Camb to Stansted Apt, few East Suffolk...

your periodic reminder of what was promised under 2016 Franchise Agreement (yes i know the bid team were smoking dope, no one should take seriously what GA/DfT signed up to, and if the taxpayer gets to pay tens of millions lease costs for trains that will spend their time relaxing in Norwich and...
