At Stortford on the down it is going to be a very big gap. It is already a jump off with doors at 1/3 and 2/3. With single door in middle of carriage gap will be huge. I think the 745s come with a retractable step which should solve problem, but not sure how it will take camber into account, to fill gap it will need to point down

Most of the doors aren't in the middle, they are at either the 1/3 or 2/3 position (but not both), possibly for that reason. The step only comes out straight, but will still make a difference.
Which in combination with the shorter carriages might mean the gap will be smaller than now.
I think I need a lie down, I've been positive about the Flirts!

Hi,
I'm new to all this so please be gentle. What does the 5Q99 schedule refer to, I live close to the line and was hoping to go and have a look as it whizzed past. So Im trying to find out the timetable for this train.
Many Thanks

This is the times on Realtime trains and, providing it does run as expected, will be updated during the journey (see Realtime column).
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H37118/2019/04/04/advanced
Note that actual timings can vary quite a lot from those scheduled.
Once you get used to Realtime trains you can spend a lot of time looking at it!!
thank-you so much

finally nice to hear about more 755s arriving, but i thought Norwich Crown Point was full now that the 745/1 arrived
Well there are the new sidings (when they open), relayed sidings at Victoria Sidings and then facilities on the Mid Norfolk.

Victoria Sidings? Honestly, never heard of them

At Trowse Lower Junction.

No expense will be spared on security fencing & illumination same as Wensum sidings & MNR. Only issue with Victoria is that crews will need to be taxied constantly & there are no facilities. This was the reason it wasn't used as a CET base when first planned.

Will the two 755s spotted at Dolland Moor be taken together or one at a time?
Believe the plan is they'll come together

that'll be a sight, i assume they'll travel up via hs1?
They go to Ripple Lane along HS1, then go via Barking to Stratford, reverse then head up the GEML to Norwich.
They were in ripple lane siding when I passed there at 0050.
