There were a couple of overnight paths last week but they ended up being cancelled.

Indeed. It is when travelling on some other parts of the country you appreciate how lucky we are with GA. Although last month saw the first overtime ban on a Sunday which meant some branches didn't have a service so presmably similar will apply on the 4th February.

I agree, the 06:48 really needs to return. The 07:05 attracts the last of the regular morning commuters as well as those travelling to London for a day business trip. I travelled on the 07:26 for the first time today. I notice that was formed of 11 coaches and the screens at Colchester were...

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway launched an appeal at the beginning of Covid and mentioned how much they miss out on. They set no target but the crisis appeal closed having raised £440k. I also thought along similar lines. Quoting a £1.5m figure may also put people off by thinking what use...

I have just travelled through Manningtree and it was a 755 on the branch service.

Greater Anglia have announced that the last scheduled day of 321s in passenger service will be on Monday. They will be on the Colchester - Walton services. https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/about-us/news-desk/news-articles/final-phase-greater-anglias-new-trains-transition-begins

It was still there earlier. I was fortunate to have 314 and 315 on the 12:06 Colchester - London today.

I don't know what the those warnings under the status said yesterday but today they say those services won't run. Obviously we will have to wait until Tuesday for those services to be removed from the planners.

322s and 317s made regular visits to Norwich during the summer of 1999 when the off peak frequency was increased to two trains per hour. They stood in for the late arrival of the 170s (although nowhere near as late as the introduction of new trains these days). I recall travelling on a 317/322...

I saw a seat seat head rest missing quite early on although vandalism has been quite common over the years on these units. There wasn’t a farewell tour but GA advertised their final scheduled diagram while I’m sure that they had a 720 available for the day. It gave me and others an opportunity...

They are the units out today.

Journey check has been updated a short while ago to say that this service now has the usual number of coaches.

Yes, anyone living in the south of Ipswich are potentially using Manningtree as a quieter and perhaps quicker alternative for driving away after completing their rail journey.

Thanks for the information, I had a trip out on the 11:46 to Meridian Water. The remained on diagram with the 12:30 to Bishops Stortford. 317339 & 317340 have just passed through Hackney Downs with the 5H80 Ilford to Cambridge Sidings North...

The only difference I could see is that the 13:30 to Norwich is currently not in the journey planner. Its previous journey, 11:00 to London, is in the planner. Without that 13:30 there its suggesting that if you miss the 11:30 the next quickest journey to Ipswich is via Seven Sisters...

They have provided some further details this morning via the link in the above post. Nothing out of Liverpool Street after 17:40 on the strike days.

The 12:32 and 15:00 have just appeared on jouney check as formed of 8 coaches.

412/407/334 are on a couple of Q working trips between Norwich and Ipswich today.

Welcome news on a day when the first off peak to London was four coaches.

Not good as for as long as I can remember the Sunday afternoon services to London are very busy. If they could work in multiple in passenger service I’m sure that another 755 could have been found but …
