At least a couple of months.So, how close are we to having 755s in service? Especially London to Norwich?

Does GA do engineering work on the GMEL every single weekend? Seems like it.
Needs to stop!
Quite agree ! we can cancel all that silly Crossrail work, and not bother with renewing the overheads, and whilst we are at it, scrap the HOBC and the work it does, will just leave the track as it is Oh and of course you would never have had the Felixstowe Capacity Project either
Having said that I think there have been trains to London over the 3, 4 or 5 weekends ? although HOBC / Pointwork etc at the Country end at weekends (inc this weekend)
"in my day" with a profile age of 20Nah, what we need to do is scrap all these new trains and bring steam out of retirement full time. Steam was never late in my day

Ummm, in my day I grew-up about 100 yards from Wood Street, Walthamstow loco-shed & although the Jazz was still a goodpeak-hour operation it wasn't perfect.Nah, what we need to do is scrap all these new trains and bring steam out of retirement full time. Steam was never late in my day
Despite not being a FLIRT!So the first Norwich in 90 was done in 89 minutes!
Strictly 90 1/2 as it left earlyDespite not being a FLIRT!
But that's London in 89, not Norwich in ninetyNo - the morning service from Norwich took 1 hour 29 minutes.
Yes, depending if you want it to take 55, 65 or 84 minutes, respectively. Progressively more stops, of course.Am I wrong, or is there really a 11.00, 11:02, and a 11:04 from LST to Ipswich now?
I have just posted a link to the latest 'Class 90' GEML diagrams, as understood by the Class 90 Loco Study Group, in the Norwich in 90 thread.What stock ran the 11:02, and any other displaced diagrams that the Nin90 set ran?

GA are clearly between a rock and a hard place. It was important to them to get the Ni90 inaugurated on schedule.So 321's ? Sucks to be a passenger who regularly uses one of those diagrams.

But they don't actually need any further incentives to get the new stock commissioned do they?
Whilst this am the Ni90's seem to have run to time, the pm runs have both had issues with late running trains ahead. Nothing to do with the stock of course.
18:32 left 10 late due to someone being stuck in the toilet at LST. That messed up most of the trains before the 19:00
Ah yes, 14 late and looped at Colchester! . That explains the cumulative delays.
