Being totally reliant on Nottingham crews I’d say that anything happening with EMR will be very low if at all.

Fingers crossed you get some positive news mate.

Hopefully it will go well tomorrow with the improving weather conditions. Hope Valley stations from Chinley through to Dore & Totley saw decent growth in passenger numbers last year and that was during the tail end of over two years of industrial action. 1767972928 It’s not yet listed on GWR...

They are doing a sterling job.

Yes and it was a couple of years before Brandon was added to the service and then it was only every other service that called. Before that only Central Trains served Brandon on an approximate two-hourly hit & miss basis. Special Stop Orders (SSOs) became commonplace for Anglia drivers here.

Yes and all staff in the GA ROC were also offered overnight accommodation in Romford and expenses. Complimentary Taxi’s to/from home were also offered to anyone requesting them.

Ironically when the Norwich-Cambridge service was launched in 2002 Anglia Railways initially didn’t wasn’t to call at Attleborough so as to keep the journey total journey time at 70 minutes. Stops were only to be Wymondham, Thetford & Ely.

Woken up here in the East and you’d hardly know any storm had occurred such was its lack of impact here. Not a single cancellation or line problem showing for Greater Anglia as I head into just a damp Norwich.

Yes right from the outset in December 2019 when the Norwich to Cambridge services were combined with the Cambridge to Stansted shuttles GA Train Planning admitted it was almost impossible to amalgamate the two in peak SX hours and correctly predicted this was unlikely to change much as and when...

So lucky here in the East with Greater Anglia saying there are no issues to report so far and no expectations to cancel services this evening or tomorrow unless anything unforeseen happens.

Several cross legs (or worse) on that service then o_O

Not good but I suppose it stops enroute. Trouble with the S&C diverts according to the TM was that it was 2h20 if everything goes okay but no chance to stop to allow use of facilities or to transfer into the other unit thats even if the crew agreed to staff the offending 805.

Possibly also because traincrew would end up with no toilets so do not work in that particular unit. We all got hustled into the front unit.

Most of the failures I have seen are related to frozen toilets.

Bit of both i would say.

All excellent news for East Anglia passengers and builds on the overwhelming success that has been the Stadler fleet since 2019. More to come in future years hopefully.

Platform 3C often shows the following Norwich service even though a Peterborough or Cambridge is waiting to depart. Been like that for years. Trains showing delayed are normally down to the ECS moves on the diagram getting cancelled. The 12:28 Stansted departure from Norwich was another that...

I got lucky by the sounds of things yesterday. Yes there was a slight delay and the rear set got locked out due to frozen WCs but was comfortably full in the front set and on arrival at Carlisle stepped straight onto a late running Newcastle service with my planned following connection being...

I know, great isn’t it? Yes I’m imagining that’ll be the case to save any confusion as happens at Leeds/York with Harrogate line trains.

I was under the impression it’s only being done now because the M6 is closed too on certain dates making RR difficult.
