Interesting too that the former information control manager and business change manager at Greater Anglia up until April 2017 took a sabbatical for six months and then in September started working for the company behind the screens as as Programme Manager. Reminds me of Mike Kean, who if I...

Ex Anglia Railways sections of the franchise have a superirority complex who believe that the Norwich line should come before anything else, this has been the case since the late 90s and early 2000s - Michael Schabas didn't exactly hide this! :)

Are the luggage racks above seats all the way to wall? On the 755s they are not and therefore had stuff falling down the back onto me on the! window seat.

Good - since it could well be a magnet for anti social behaviour, smoking etc.

Seen quite a few cancellations due to faults with the signalling system again today. How are we doing for unit numbers for the local services? I overhead people speaking today saying there are a good few more trains in the local fleet approved for service than there were in the legacy fleet and...

Does the central section with the long narrow corridor where all the electrical stuff is, have CCTV cameras covering this area? Haven't seen any in the photos so far. If not then why not? Surely this is the exact place where they are needed.

Be a bit longer than a few weeks, March/April I'd suspect.

The only problem I have with these is the high density airline seating. A claustrophobic niche in the back of the seat in front is no substitute for decent seat pitch for tall people.

Good few cancellations today 07:44 Cambridge to Ipswich due 09:03 07:49 Peterborough to Ipswich due 09:26 08:09 Norwich to Great Yarmouth due 08:42 08:25 Ipswich to Felixstowe due 08:51 08:47 Great Yarmouth to Norwich due 09:19 08:54 Felixstowe to Ipswich due 09:24 10:01 Ipswich to Peterborough...

53 minutes was done on a 360 demo run during the day, I reckon the could have got under that on a Sunday with a clear run - was the belief at the time that there was around another 30-40 seconds at least on the table on ideal conditions.

Beestons appear to have taken delivery of former NCT Scania / East Lancs Omnitown YN04 AMX (not to be confused with ANX which is an ex Beestons Scania /Wright Solar!) now in full livery minus fleet names and was seen in Colchester on the 971 today - they must really love the East Lancs and...

I wonder if the company who are being contracted for the screens also are replacing the announcements system as well? The good thing about the current situation is that whilst the screens have their issues, the legacy announcements at least tend to be fine.... Sure they are not going to break...

There was what I thought was a troll on here a few weeks back who kept calling out the train lengths including non passenger carrying vehicles as a carriage, but actually much of what looked like obvious trolling has actually happened in recent GA statements and now we're seeing the coach thing...

That perfectly sums up Greater Anglia right now. The amount of spin, style over substance, and the constant incessant PR drive coming out of them is pathetic, I can only imagine how widespread the crtiticism would be if Northern tried something like this. They really need to get back to the...

More seemingly weird delay attribution this morning on the 08:03 755 from Ipswich to Peterborough. It left Ipswich on time but leaving Stowmarket 10 minutes late was apparently due to the train being late from the depot. This reasoning seems to be being used for a number of trains this...

The one thing I don't get about these screens, is it's approximately 4 years since they were first used on ScotRail stations. You'd think that in those four years, it was plenty of time to iron out these kind of issues and the system should be quite mature by now and pretty stable with most of...

That's Infotec WebCIS which is powered by Javelin/Darwin, rather than the Blackbox system. You can access a few more functions of it here: http://javelin-webcis.co.uk/

5 coach trains being listed on the screens on the Lowestoft line tonight.

What happened today?

Seems to have caused disruption to quite a few services on that line, to the Cambridge services as well as Peterborough Generally a lot of late running and problems on the local lines tonight. From looking at RTT none of them have delay codes indicating train faults, they're a mixture of...
