It was all historical. The GE eventually became the prime route to Norwich. 1747600007 Thank you. Exactly how the splitting distants set the routes up.

You only have to look at XC‘s X account. They often belittle those who complain or want a moan or simply reply with a casual ‘Yep’. 1747594102 I simply can’t see how anything can change.

The direct (priority) route was towards Norwich. This changed to Peterborough in 1992. Didn’t sign it then so couldn’t comment on each line speed.

After all these years i doubt it but what can they do?

None of that information has been announced yet.

Yes mate. Extremely busy trains with more seating than ever before. Perhaps we need to go back to 06:28/06:55/07:10.

571 was involved in a collision with a car at Bentley AHB last Sunday. The damage to the train however was only minor.

I wouldn’t rely on the road network in the same respect. Just give yourself plenty of time whatever transport you use to get there.

I keep a very close eye on several station car parks but particularly Manningtree and Cambridge North. Now the former was extended controversially before the pandemic and has never reached its potential until the last six months or so proving that even more cars park at this station...

Cheers.

Normally track circuits.

Oh my days. Aren't you keen? :lol:

Which I recall is exactly what MR mag stated.

I could only presume so. They sat on the through road waiting access to platform 1 after I’d been for a wander and a coffee to pass the time.

Wondered what they where doing in the through road whilst I was waiting to take over the 16:16 Norwich.

Modern Railways (May issue) has already mentioned this in the usual twice yearly round up of the national timetable changes.

Norwich to Birmingham was dropped by Regional Railways before privatisation. It was all down to traincrew route learning costs when Norwich drivers extended their route knowledge beyond Peterborough. It was decided to concentrate that depot on Nottingham via both routes rather than...

I’m in that group. They were very infrequent though and some laboriously slow as parcels vehicles sometimes got attached/detached en-route and frequently an engine change at March. From the 1970s when upgraded to loco-hauled, the BR catering for some reason was withdrawn, not being reintroduced...
