Continuing to peruse the GA Regional services I note that an additional 08:08 (SX) Norwich to Cambridge service runs along with a 17:10 return. These are joined by the aforementioned 21:40 Norwich to Ely & return to keep the hourly pattern running all evening. On the Ipswich to Cambridge route...

Probably the platform 3C thing. Both staff and passengers have repeatedly reported it but it seems to difficult to change.

One of the problems has always been north of North Walsham as it takes slightly longer and is difficult to keep to an hourly pattern and call at all stations in both directions. The xx:00 from Liverpool Street has never been an official connection for most of the day but I do agree that...

Yes I have never quite understood why the early SuO Ipswich-Peterborough is seasonal. 1767784951 All in all an excellent timetable for regional passengers on GA. How odd that the new 08:08 Norwich-Cambridge skips Wymondham.

Of interest on GA regional services are the return of the 08:04 & 18:02 (SX) Norwich-Great Yarmouth and return. Both withdrawn during the pandemic. Also an interesting evening service at 21:54 Norwich-Beccles obviously via Lowestoft returning at 23:00. The last train to Lowestoft departs Norwich...

Plenty of hot items being sold at the cafe bar yesterday from what I saw & smelt.

Won’t be long now.

It wasn’t too bad in the end and the woman was reunited with her glove :wub:

sounds like an own goal to me. We suffered similar in the early days of Stadlers dumping their water tanks in very low temperatures. 1767653463 It’s quite a laughable comment. Nobody gets dismissed on the railway for such things. Goodness only knows how badly employees are treated in other...

Speaking to a friend from GA this morning who has worked in train catering for over 20 years and she said that she has never taken as much money in a month as she did on the bar/trolley during November/December just gone. Weekends were apparently ridiculous.

I think that member of staff made that comment up :lol:

Just passed that. Was an 805 I think so at least bimodal.

It nearly had a Nottingham service but wasn’t that all abandoned along with the ‘Northern Connect’ plans during the pandemic?

Nothing on the horizon from what I can see. Rachel kindly looked after us as soon as she got into power :wub:

Your own personal taxi.

Yes, 3x755/4s running as ECS on 5P82 or similar back to Crown Point is fine.

Yes, it probably does.

Thanks for the tip. I know where to head for now. Enthusiasts by their own name have always been far too enthusiastic for my personal liking.

So good to hear especially seen as I am in Blackpool tomorrow and doing the 805 diversion on Tuesday ;)

It is simply how risk management and safety now works on the national network. I look at things from all angles but both operations management and ASLEF will want what is best for their drivers/members and what will mitigate incidents and possible repercussions from them.
