Under the Franchise Agreement GA committed to deliver TSR2 in May 19. Changes minor:
- Hertford East 2TPH to 3TPH off peak only
- Southend Vic 3TPH to 4TPH off peak only
- Norwich Cambridge hourly extended to Stansted Airport all day
- LivSt Ipswich hourly semifast extended to Norwich all day
Other posters say none of this will happen, which is confirmed by what shows on realtimetrains, in fact only changes are on GEML to accommodate the token Norwich in 90.
Separately the additional 2TPH Meridan Water to Stratford was originally due Dec 18 but was deferred to May 19 about a year ago. But realtimetrains shows no changes to the service at Angel Road/Meridian Water, so seems that this also may not happen.
TSR3 due May 20 is full recast. Publicity when franchise awarded said "extra 1144 trains a week". But no draft timetables ever made available publicly so no one knows if this is achievable by then or at all. Seems very unlikely it will be achieved by May 20. Per
https://www.networkrail.co.uk/how-rail-timetabling-works/ operators are expected to give NR 14 months notice of significant changes, with a formal bid 10 months in advance. Perhaps GA are quietly doing all the work and will serve up well developed plans and get it all finalised with NR by May 20, but given all the other various deadlines missed (on train wifi, PRM mods, platform extensions, carnet ticketing, Brantham etc) seems very unlikely
