BBC Breakfast reporting a three week signalling project on Norwich-Yarmouth (is that the Wherry Lines?) in Feb with replacement buses. I wonder if it is related to he signalling problems.

Transferring from old fashioned signals to the new colour light signals probably as the new ones were bagged over last week while I was Acle on the Yarmouth line.

Nothing to do with it. Was planned to be done last year but delayed. Track renewals and a bridge replacement being done at the same time. Its the reason Berney Arms hasn't seen a train for 18 months.

No, just the final stage of the resig project, with the final alterations and commissioning of the lines into Colchester ASC.... all being well

Was mentioned in a short thread last year:

I expect it’s more newsworthy for the BBC to report it as a sudden decision...
