Been a "fun" weekend for those travelling between Ipswich & Cambridge/Peterborough - after the old railway station at Higham caught fire just before 6am on Saturday morning with fears that the building may collapse onto the line, causing a shutdown for nearly all of the weekend. 18 fire engines...

Hello all, Was quite agast on Monday morning to discover that they had experienced some fairly big issues during last weekend's possession, just outside Cambridge on the Ipswich line. At one point it didn't look as if the line was to reopen until Tuesday. Thankfully, I managed to get the...

A major pain in the arse, welcome to Dullingham. Almost a year on: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=86512 from the previous set of issues - they are back with a vengence. Over the last few weeks, numerous signalling problems plague the area and cause delays of 15 mins... 30...

Reports on Greater Anglia and NRE of a incident involving a Freight train currently blocking lines at Elmswell this evening. Sounds quite serious, anyone with any more information?

Around 9:30am this morning we had a fairly sizeable storm that seemed to continue rumbling for at least an hour and a half. Within a couple of hours I started to notice problems coming up between Ipswich-Cambridge, with signalling problems being reported. Rumours flying around on social media...

My usual commute from Thurston to Cambridge usually passes off without any drama or incident, as the GA 170's go from A-B without too much effort. Now the trains are fine, but recently it seems the signalling between Cambridge and Chippenham Junction (between Newmarket/Kennett) seems to be...

As NRE/Greater Anglia are reporting buses replacing trains between Bury St Edmunds/Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds/Peterborough this Sunday due to "emergency construction works" I do happen to wonder how bad things are? I was travelling between Cambridge & Bury last night, and had a noticeable...

Hello, I'm looking into potentially buying a monthly season ticket for my travels between Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich. I would be travelling off-peak (after 8:45 from Bury St Edmunds) and returning the same day after 4pm. I would be travelling Tuesday-Saturday inclusive. I also possess a...

This has been ongoing most of the morning... what's happened? According to NRE: An operating incident has occurred near Farringdon. Becauuse of this, trains between London St Pancras and Farringdon are suspended.

I apologise in advance for my ignorance, but I'm slightly perplexed. Yesterday evening I was waiting for a train at Thurston station to Newmarket. After literally 20 seconds the train came up as the dreaded "cancelled". If I recall it was due to "disruptive passengers". What criteria would a...

Hello all. Got an interesting predicament here. 6 of us are going off on Thursday 28th July from Bury St Edmunds to Sheringham on the Norfolk Coast. I've been pottering around the ticket websites and have managed to get this as a decent result. £60.00 return all together (using Groupsave 3...

The bad luck strikes again... When I got to Kings Cross at 20:30 last night (Saturday) I was greeted with a message that stated previous signalling problems in the Cambridge area had been resolved... or so I thought. After waiting an additional 15 or so minutes, the platform for my 20:45...

Hello everyone, Have been busy trying to work what the best value tickets are for a group of 10 of us going to London from Bury St Edmunds via Cambridge next Saturday, and returning the same day. Just wondering if you lot could help, as the Groupsave only appears to work up to 8 people... What...

Just what on earth is going on down at Bury St Edmunds today? Just got back from Thurston station, after I tried to get a Thurston-Cambridge service (planned to go to Bury on the train, with the already planned rail replacement bus going to Cambridge) only to be greeted with no trains and no...
