Norwich services extended to Stansted Airport

Starting at December timetable change many Norwich - Cambridge services will be extended through to Stansted Airport. A quick scan shows some revised timings from Norwich starting at XX27 which will give more even spread with EMR services departing Norwich xx57 as now.

It's not really going to be a terribly useful service though; National Express don't have too much to worry about! First Stansted arrival is mid morning, and there's a long gap in services late afternoon / evening before a last train that's a bit early.

7 direct services weekday, 15 Saturdays & 13 Sundays. The 'peak' service south of Cambridge Mondays-Friday's precludes through operation during these times unfortunately although I understand this is something that will be looked at again in future.

As said it will give a more even service across the Brecks particularly in the up direction. On the down there will be an extra 10minutes between EMR & GA services which should help reliability if the former is a little on the drag. There are plans for Norwich guards to work through to the Airport but drivers will changeover at Cambridge.
