Just received on a GA round robin e mail: QUOTE Dear all Further to our email on Wednesday, we will now be introducing a reduced timetable from Monday 23 March, as everyone across Greater Anglia works flat out to provide transport for people delivering essential services. With the...

It is a bridge near Great Cornard. The issue is (allegedly) the timbers that support the line......they need strengthening and/or replacing and conversations are going on (apparently) with NR. I raised this recently with the MD at a rail users meeting and he assured me that solutions will be...

Although the private finance for the digital signalling is new......all the new units have space and are able to have the new kit fitted apparently.

Indeed FGE! Watching it in action and the so called "slick PR" is somewhat worrying........no word on Brantham btw.....mmmmmmmm

Had to delete as Abellio released the information about signalling erroneously and have asked for it to be taken down!

Question for the GE side......just wondering following the Christmas works what is left to do this year? Noted that Gidea Park yard is complete but wiring and signals to be finished off and lots of new wires around Ilford (although not the flyover). Station extensions seem complete but...

check out the FB pages.....I have put the photos and videos on there......nothing to do with livery.....an interior mock up with a two door configuration....completely different

I did ask but I was dealing with "the wrong development team"

Sam - had it confirmed today - "THEY DONT WORK PROPERLY OR RELIABLY"..... What a surprise! 3 hanging around Ilford sitting there doing nothing.....been there for weeks.....numerous sent back for rectification..... (sigh) alas 321 lovers needs to admit defeat to this flawed project.....new...

On a visit to Bombardier today to see the GA mock up 345 014 (7 car unit) being readied at Derby station off to Old Dalby test track........ Meanwhile appears 7 units now blocking up Ilford.......software engineers trying to iron out "teething problems"..... I had to say "hurry up" tongue...
