I don't know what the those warnings under the status said yesterday but today they say those services won't run. Obviously we will have to wait until Tuesday for those services to be removed from the planners.
322s and 317s made regular visits to Norwich during the summer of 1999 when the off peak frequency was increased to two trains per hour. They stood in for the late arrival of the 170s (although nowhere near as late as the introduction of new trains these days). I recall travelling on a 317/322...
I saw a seat seat head rest missing quite early on although vandalism has been quite common over the years on these units.
There wasn’t a farewell tour but GA advertised their final scheduled diagram while I’m sure that they had a 720 available for the day. It gave me and others an opportunity...
Yes, anyone living in the south of Ipswich are potentially using Manningtree as a quieter and perhaps quicker alternative for driving away after completing their rail journey.
Thanks for the information, I had a trip out on the 11:46 to Meridian Water. The remained on diagram with the 12:30 to Bishops Stortford.
317339 & 317340 have just passed through Hackney Downs with the 5H80 Ilford to Cambridge Sidings North...

I wonder if it will be operational for very limited hours only. A number of students travel to the college there from Stowmarket. I travelled on an Peterborough - Ipswich service a couple of months back with two conductors...
I had a short trip on what was the 07:07 Norwich - Liverpool Street this morning and that was well loaded even before Ipswich. Hopefully it won’t be long before the 06:48 from Norwich is reinstated.
The Network Rail Anglia account has just tweeted that the 50mph limit will return tomorrow.

EMR have been running their services to Ely this morning (engineering works Ely - Norwich). An empty unit is currently heading to Cambridge from Ipswich.
In Greater Anglia land the empty Ipswich - Felixstowe train has returned to Ipswich in passenger service. Journey check has the East Suffolk reopening with the 09:06 Lowestoft - Ipswich and the mainline with the 08:00 Norwich - Shenfield (as scheduled due to engineering works).
