East Anglia advice/ questions

[47403]

In planning mode folks for a 3 day jaunt in East Anglia come February. Just a few questions.

Firstly is anyone the wiser, if both the 37 and 68 short sets will still be running then?

I'm hoping to rope in my few GA 153s and 156s that are needed for sight. Which turns will I likely to find these on?

This one's pretty sketchy and may know the answer to but thought i'd ask regardless. Is the mid Norfolk railway open through the week? Got some 47s I'd dearly hope to get a trip behind. I know this is a very long shot.

Any help or small bits of advice, no matter how large or small will be gratefully received.
Many thanks

37s and 68s should still be running Mon - Fri.

153s and 156s work the branch lines out of Norwich and Ipswich. 170s work the longer distance services such as Norwich - Cambridge, Ipswich - Cambridge and Ipswich - Peterborough. The Ipswich - Lowestoft service is a bit of a mix.

You can guarantee one of your units will be on the Marks Tey - Sudbury service, a 156 Mon -Fri, 153 at the weekend. The Ipswich - Felixstowe service is a 153. There's a 153 that leaves Norwich at 12.57 and doesn't return until 18.32 having gone for a trip on the East Suffolk line.

The Crown Point DMU fleet works hard, but using the platform working in real time trains you can work out the unit diagrams. No guarantee the units will stick to them though.

Many thanks for that kind sir. Just what I was looking for, very much appreciated.
