Maybe there is no need but if it's cheaper than paying the MNR then it could be worth it.But they must be standing somewhere now, why move them before they go for scrap?

Yes, that's true.Maybe there is no need but if it's cheaper than paying the MNR then it could be worth it.
Only access is the Vauxhall station end. The other one was lost with the abolition of Breydon Jcn box in 1977 mate.Yes, that's true.
Are Great Yarmouth carriage sidings now single ended? There used to be an exit via the Breydon Junction end but I guess that's gone now?

Wouldn't be anything to do with Stadler units.Seems like a massive waste of money unless the MNR plans to store some of their stock there? Can't see how they can securely stable any 755's there overnight.

As mentioned in earlier posts, some bogies & wheelsets have arrived here too.Thanks, I would have found it odd if they were.
Suppose we'll just wait and see what happens in the future!
Some relaying has taken place too particularly in the siding nearest Acle New Road. This was the location of at least two class 03 derailments that I can remember as a kid.I noticed that today and some gravel/ballast going down on at least one line
I think I signal checked them at CO501 whilst I was playing trains going Norwich Low Level to Norwich Victoria Sidings via the Whitlingham crossover & Wensum Curve Still it pleased the photographers on the footbridge as the 37 opened up & thrashed under them once given the green.5 Mk3's should be going there to stable sometime today. Only access to / from the sidings in now via P2 only, although pointwork would allow all platforms, but not part of the resig.
No chance whatsoever of the latter but a nice thoughtRumour has it that apparently some mk2 coaches are going to be stationed here as well?
I wonder if one of the reasons for these coaches being kept in reserve here is in case the new trains fail and GA should need to borrow them back in an emergency?
Work is progressing well and the sidings are looking almost as good as they did in the 70/80s. There seems to be some involvement from the Mid Norfolk Railway so will be interesting to see what is so worthy of all this money and effort.
The faces are familiar from the MNR I am upto speed now.I can assure you there is no involvement from the Mid-Norfolk Railway whatsoever. The work at the carriage sidings is totally independant by a separate company. Plenty of plans for the place, watch this space..
