Although I like variety.. it's a good look! 402 and 409 showing off at Norwich station Monday morning. Roll on Roll out!

Has anyone heard anymore about attempts to preserve one of the 90's for heritage? I think they were talking about 90050 (the one that caught fire and is in storage?) The sidings at Crown Point are full of Mark 3's in threes and fours, I guess de-branded and ready for their move on. Two more...

Keeping it biblical .. Sodom and Gomorrah

So rolling past the Crown Point sidings today after a week chasing trains in Italy, I was looking forward to seeing some new introductions of 755's. And low and behold a whole bunch of mark 3 carriages filling all the sidings where pre-Italy I'd seen months of stationary 755's. Excited as I...

Yes was thinking Ipswich - Cambridge Ipswich - Peterborough Ipswich - Felixstowe Ipswich - Lowestoft

At Norwich, I notice there is always a Stadler jacketed guy waiting to receive every incoming 755. Is this a 'everything alright mate?' type of thing, or is more of a celebratory 'Well done you made it!' I wonder. Can't wait to get these down to Ipswich.

Convenient signal failure at Trowse let me capture these. I notice that 'Shook' is still about.. That graffiti 'person' has been in the area for years, carriages, bridges, OHL, side of factory, nothing seems to escape.

Could well be. They look familiar. Do you reckon they plan to store 745s there then?Would make sense with the Crown point storage area and MNR with no overheads.

Looks like bringing Victoria sidings back into use is turning out to be a bit more of a problem than many thought. After having to put in substantial steel supports and concrete slabs along its full length to stop soil caving in, today several what look like large steel piles have turned up. I...

Arriving at 8.30am at Norwich station this morning ..only the East Midlands train in platform 1... nothing else in any other platform! Have they given up?

Oh wow memories of as a lad of a shaking Huntingdon station footbridge at 100MPH.

Nice to see two platforms at Norwich with 755, and another making jittery movements backwards and forwards in one of the sidings. Disturbing though to see at least one Stadler Hi-Vis jacket buzzing around every 755 in service it seems. It really feels this fleet change isn't 'happening' at quite...

I had a chance to get a more close up look at the 755 in Norwich platform 1 today, and I was a bit surprised at the rickety look of the extending door step. What looks like a thin piece of aluminium under the step which if it ever gets hit, I reckon could render the whole step inoperable (and...

Is it just another 'dodgy' rumour that the 745's are being delivered by sea (Southampton) rather than the tunnel? I thought they were loco hauled all the way through Europe? Also that the Stadler guy that 'organised' the delivery of the units without seats has been 'let go'?

Walked past my first 755 on the platform, got a tingle as I went past the power unit. Looked at the passengers inside, and they looked 'flippin miserable'. Come on people! These are exciting times! Oh and is it just another 'dodgy' rumour that the 745's are being delivered by sea (Southampton)...

Sorry should have said .. Stowmarket UP platform. So the Bimodes will switch there then?.. exciting.

Pans up!

Yea Gods! Classic piece of film Alan! And they've got to put 1000 miles on each set before revenue service?!! Sooty revenue service as you say! 745 12 car in the siding alongside platform 1 at Norwich this morning waiting to head out on a test run. Nice to see them out and about.

Does anyone know how much it costs to transport the new trains through the Channel Tunnel? Reckon it must be pretty expensive. Spotted another three 3 cars heading for CP this morning 10 minutes late through Ipswich.

So Stadlers on duty Norwich to Great Yarmouth Wednesday?..Whatever it’s sad to see the 37 short set ‘broken’ in the Norwich sidings tonight.. couldn’t even identify the 37 and one remaining MK2 as we tore past on the 17.00 NIN. Photos being taken by folk on the platform though.. so hopefully a...
