The weekend service hasn’t really changed from pre-pandemic. Can only be down to a lack of units or more people travelling post-pandemic.

3 units currently stabled and fuelled overnight at Colchester, Sudbury, Peterborough and the early Ipswich to Saxmundham

Ha ha :)

And Harwich’s and Walton’s

Can’t speak for other TOC’s but at GA we haven’t had a pay rise in 3 years after they walked away from negotiations in 2020. In those 3 years inflation has rocketed, we’ve worked right through and been trained on a new fleet of trains. Nothing was offered at the last meeting despite money now...

It’s also caused a 25mph speed restriction in the up direction due to signal sighting.

Glad they’ve updated that, I’ve seen it a few times when it was 20 mins and people have been locked in the train.

Out of curiosity, when a 755 is on diesel it shuts down and locks the doors after 20 mins without a key in. How does it work when in multiple and one unit is on electric and the other is on diesel?

see post 6977 above.

The only time that won’t happen heading to Cambridge/Peterborough is when the unit is already in Diesel mode. The will switch to Electric there on the way back

I believe it did but didn’t call at Chelmsford or Stratford

Both were in Clacton last week.

Could it be that the older stock has had more time to water down their early reliability issues too?

It says 338/342

026 and 029 moved to Parkestone this afternoon.
