NR are currently doing some sort of work for the next few weeks on this stretch on Saturdays, just heard that it will closed for a week sometime in May They are supposed to be installing a third track somewhere along the line

Can't see the point in that, the line is single and you can only go one way, if it is used for driver training which suggests EMT are prepared to use it if something happens in Ely, however they will only be able to use it twice at best as they won't have anymore trains in Norwich, coz if the...

Some of their services are run on other companies lines though, I believe they run one service a day from Spalding to Oakham, then there is the route between Peterborough and Norwich Has FGW bought any rolling stock? my understanding is that the trains are leased from Lloyds bank and such like

Anyone else struggle to buy tickets to Hunstanton online with the exception of East Coast, Greater Anglia and FCC both say no, so does National Rail Enquiries

Without reading the terms of this ticket it might actually include buses anyway, if the Anglia Plus ticket is anything to go by round here, that includes buses in both Norwich and Ipswich (First Group Only Town Buses)

Personally can't see it, ECML will get new stock at some point and the current ECML will appear in Norwich, with planned electrification between Ipswich and Nuneaton and the portion between Chippenham Junction to Cambridge will leave a few class 170s free to make the switch to the Ipswich to...

Just like they have done at Ely more years than I care to remember lol

Seems to have got better over the years, noticed that its down to 57 minutes coming back, I wonder how long it would have took if the short section of track at Chippenham Junction was still in use for direct service from Ely

Newark Castle to Newark North Gate and further up north there is Blackpool North to Blackpool South

Kings Lynn to Norwich, Kings Lynn to Spalding and Peterborough to Bedford and Northampton

Ely to Newmarket, 50 minutes on bus nearly 2 hours on the train, 15 miles

Just doesn't look good if you are asking them to pay £5.50 for your rail travel, makes you look like you are after as much as you can get and its embarrassing, Just not convinced that any of these people who ask for the money get the job in the end

Would it be feasible to assume that EC have a 10 day response in the franchise agreement that all operators would be the same

I didn't bother with it either when I was signing on last year, you had to go to the job centre the day before and apply for it, then you had to ask the employer yourself whether they would pay, if not JSA would reimburse you, and they used to check up as well, I personally thought it would put...

I would be totally surprised if NRE doesn't have any links to the TOC back offices, even late at night there should be no reason why they can't contact the nearest 24 hour station the operator runs

There is an Anlia Plus ticket that covers trains between Cambridge/Ely to Felixstowe/Lowestoft/Yarmouth/Sheringham, the cost is £17 a day

It will increase due to various factors, one being Sunday buses have stopped running in most areas, also the amount of cheap advanced tickets you can buy now encourages more people to travel

Out of interest, how much does a carriage go for

It is actually class 92 they are running through there and not class 66

Just had a dig around the net on this, it looks like they are doing some minor conversions to locomotives that can operate anywhere in Europe Last time I looked Schenker were the main ones doing trial runs, now it looks like they are running services, one I come across is this service to...
