RE catering, Don't forget that Stansted Express sets will operate on some Norwich Liverpool Street services to enable them to access Crown Point for maintenance, The 0500 from Nrw was certainly expected to be a STEX unit when I worked for GA

Indeed they do, I hadn't checked GA website recently, Thought you were quoting my post, but to be honest they are not Urban or Suburban routes are they,

I don't work for GA now and the word RURAL was mine!!!! not GAs

When I worked in GA control (NOW RETIRED) We would get other GA managers complaining about the good service message when the Rural routes were up the creek and we would have to explain it only concerned routes based on Liverpool Street, we would also have to explain how the algorithms worked...

A certain MP complained to NR and GA that the Southend OHLE renewals were taking too long and that his constituents were fed up with buses in the evenings on weekdays and at weekends so a week long block took place with bus replacements Wickford Southend during half term to appease him and there...

Sheringham had a through service to and from LST for a while with 150 units Can't imagine many people doing March (don't remember if the sparse Manea service at the time was on through LST services) to LST via IPS

When Abellio ran the Enfield / Cheshunt service and the Spurs had a match that could involve extra time there were paths allocated and crew / unit diagrams issued for end of games specials that could be altered if the game went into extra time. eg. 5G02 departs ENF at 22:00 unless games goes...

Remember as well we only have one side to the story, we don't have the Despatcher (not the Conductors) side and don't know if they had been provoked by the MP'S actions verbal or otherwise into a wry smile perhaps. The train in question has a ten minute turn round at NRW and a six minute...
