There was indeed an EMT 156 in Norwich last week in place of a 158, I think it may well have been Friday.

Going back on topic briefly.... 170208 will be appearing soon in all over advertising livery (vinyls) for Breckland tourism (http://www.brecks.org/).

The only visible damage is the cover of the coupling electrical connection box fell off the 156 and the first 158...

There were, yes. We assume to give a wheelchair space.

It varies quite a bit from TOC to TOC, and even depot to depot in some areas. For example, the aforementioned Beveridges works for, IIRC, Northern which has a dedicated depot driver role which does more things than, for example, the Great Eastern side of Greater Anglia which treats a depot...

Also simulcast on BBC HD for those that way inclined...

I'm not sure that link works any more when you're not on a train. It's been stuck in the Bounds Green depot for months!

You are correct (see attached)...

I don't think many do the whole journey. It goes through Norwich and Kings Lynn too and this is the busiest section I think as taking the train would mean going via Ely!

And Norwich - lost Victoria and City stations.

Thanks! Yes - I passed the structured interview last week and have my drivers interview next week! Perhaps they just worked through the applications in the order they were received until they had enough for the assessment days? At least that means you'll definitely get an assessment next time...

Any idea of timings?

From what I heard from a GA guard on Friday, it's not back yet.

Well I passed the assessments today! Five out of nine of us made it through the whole day. Thanks for everyone's input on here regarding the tests! Now comes the dreaded Structured Interview... :|

Ah right, I'm applying for Norwich so perhaps they group the assesment candidates by depot.

I've not found it online but did ask GA on Twitter last night to double check it was still ok during engineering works, see this tweet. I haven't got any tickets to hand that were booked for those services so I'm not sure. It probably does say booked train only, as you still have to use one...

This has been the case for a long time (since NXEA at least!). When you get an advance for any of the last three departures from Liverpool Street (21:30, 22:30, 23:30) you can use the ticket on any of them. I have done this a few times. When you get your tickets for any of these services, you...

Thought as much. Thanks for confirming!

Yes, just one way. Getting a lift back.

Hi folks, Looking to make the above trip, one way, on 2nd Jan. Two adults, no railcards. A through advance ticket via Stratford, Jubliee line, Waterloo is a quite reasonable £23 each leaving Norwich at 11am. Am I missing any tricks here? Also have the option of going to Aldermaston instead of...
