    Best place to change, Norwich to London tomorrow

So, i'm going to have to go on the WAML or the Great Northern service. However, the last two times i've changed at ELY on...

    Electrification East Anglia V Western SE England

    So, i'm an outsider to England (Northern Irish). I've been living in East Anglia for 4 years, for Unviersity. To me, the Electrified network here is decent. Most towns i.e. Norwich, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Ipswich have at least one Electric service, indeed small, rural towns such as Ely and...

    Great Northern travel experience compared with GA commuter services

    Just a few questions regarding Great Northern. I used them on Saturday due to GA engineering work on the GEML. I have used them on a few occasions recently, aswell. So, I noticed a few differences. - Why are Greater Anglia services so slow from Cambridge? 1 hour and 20 minutes for a 55 mile...

    So, I have a First Class fare from Norwich to London, this afternoon. I have noticed that this service is now down to an 8 coach train with first class reduced.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-45057934 Looking at the ORR statistics, NI railways isn’t anywhere near most operators in GB but is above Grand Central and the Caledonian. Is this 15.5 million figure a decent figure for our population of 1.9 million? Just trying to see if we...

    Norwich to Stansted Direct Train in 2018?

    I travel from Norwich to Stansted and back, twice a month. The fastest i've done this trip in, was around 1 hour and 50. The changing is an irritant. I've seen reference to a possible direct service on other threads. A service that calls in Ely, Cambridge and Audley End sounds like a good...
