All trains updated to 720 timings as well which has certainly helped with the pathing of the faster Norwich trains.
It's great news for Harwich and Walton passengers who will now get consistent connections to Chelmsford (and therefore Ingatestone and Chelmsford) in both directions.
Class 720 SRTs have also been altered. Not had a detailed look yet, but more SRTs have gone up than gone down.
e.g. Bow Jn to Stratford down from 2 to 1½
Ilford to Gidea Park (pass-pass) up from 4 to 4½
Marks Tey (non-stop) to Colchester (stopping) up from 4 to 4½
Colchester to Manningtree (stop-stop) up from 6½ to 7
The new SRTs still sadly nowhere close to reflect the potential of the trains
Clacton to London trains finally gain a much needed stop at Hythe. Very welcome news. Overall, a job well done and very positive for Anglia!
The ‘East Anglian’ if it’s still going to be named has gained the Stratford call in both directions (08:00up/17:00dn) and completes the journey both ways in under 1h40 non-stop from/to Ipswich. General tidy up of services to depart Norwich at xx:00 & xx:30 with slight journey reductions & the Chelmsford call switched to the latter. I notice the 19:32 & 20:30 up services (SX) are withdrawn and the busy 21:00 down (last connection for Yarmouth & on Fridays Sheringham, terminates Ipswich.
