Just noticed that The Easterling trip from London to Norwich on 16th July, which was due to return via Lowestoft, is now going via Great Yarmouth. This must be a rare one!
Yeah, i was working at Yarmouth station on that day & worked well beyond 12hrs as Railtrack was very unhappy about the train running tender first as far as Norwich following problem after problem with coal & watering in the old carriage sidings. Many passengers where passed by Anglia/Central Trains to return to the East Midlands. It was part of an airy-fairy plan to have a regular Nottingham to Yarmouth steam service throughout the summer. This was the one & only special!!
It was the same day that the Hastings unit operated on local services to the resort.
