Now you’re sounding like Alan Williams :lol:

The thing I never get is why these people that spend hundreds if not thousands on their phones can’t just spend a few quid more and get some earbuds at the same time.

I agree but with the public being as they are it’s never going to happen in this country. If maybe a supplement had to be paid then that would be a better idea. Unfortunately most operators don’t have the recourses to look after this niche carriage.

Jamie did leave us last year. Martin Beable has been the recent MD.

I really don’t understand why quiet coaches have lasted this long. In my experience they do little but cause situations. Many people wrongly believe they should be like a library when in fact it’s just about mobile phone conversations and devices being on silent. All they do is create potential...

That used to happen here on the GEML in the days of loco-hauled services. These days there is no need to carry additional bottles of water as air-con failures are practically unheard of and free water is only available to 1st class passengers if the cafe bar is open.

I know. I worked for Anglia Railways after starting with BR in 1984. We went through that, NXEA and then onto I think three forms of GA. Everything except the uniform and train livery stayed the same 8-) 1755324380 The lettering style was very similar. Our livery at Anglia Railways and style of...

As expected contractual wise. Nothing can interfere with current rail staff working agreements just as has happened throughout the privatisation process almost 30 years ago. 1755294845 Current and retired staff at GA were emailed this morning to confirm that all free travel within their...

In my opinion I thankfully see very little in the way of reduction or contraction of rail services across much of the UK.

Oh I see. Again I haven’t heard anything about that as decided to take early retirement a few weeks ago so not privy to the internal info I once was. Will be nice to get the backdated back pay however from any agreed pay deal.

Sorry I don’t know much about the assessment process. Why would anything change?

Ilford, Southend Victoria, Colchester & Clacton.

Yes I would imagine so although I have no idea how or where it’s supplied from. I often find refill points at stations and even at my local leisure centre are out of use so it’s no big deal really.

Yes it was. it can be a bit hit/miss i find on whether on not they are working.

Oh there were various reasons that have probably been recorded on some thread on here somewhere. To be honest I can’t remember now. 1755192309 That was only because there was a weird middle road at one time that allowed trains to pass through at slightly more than 60mph. It’s really of no use...

Basically it will be served half hourly by Ipswich & Colchester Town services off peak. I’ve always been led to believe it’s three platforms to allow certain services to overtake during peak periods in the up direction AM and down direction PM and in times of disruption. The loop is however not...

I wouldn’t imagine GWR give two hoots about what WAG wants or thinks.

How do they get on on Manchester Metrolink?

Crikey!!! That quite rightly wouldn’t happen on a passenger TOC in a million years.

When Anglia Railways (with a little financial assistance from the then Strategic Rail Authority) launched Norwich-Cambridge as we know it now in 2002 it was advertised with a 70 minute journey time for most services. It was planned to only call at Wymondham, Thetford & Ely. Following local...
