Everton at Norwich - did EMT double up?

[jamesontheroad]

A quick question for the EMT followers and Everton fans out there; did EMT strengthen any of the Liverpool / Norwich services yesterday? Attendance was almost 27,000 for the opening of the season at Carrow Road, and I'd be bit ashamed of the welcome we gave Everton if EMT hadn't added a few extra units to the Norwich diagrams yesterday.

Thanks!

The trains I saw yesterday were still 2 car 158's

The 12.13 arrival came in as a 2-car looking very cosy. Wasn't anything left on the stops to strengthen the 17.54 return as I left standing room only on the 17.06 Yarmouth which ironically was formed with 156415.

Thanks all. Shame these things aren't more joined up.

1754 was fairly busy leaving Norwich but not too bad - some standees. It was much quieter after Thetford and Ely.

EMT can't strengthen everything, maybe if the football league didnt start in the middle of summer they may be able to strengthen for football matches but during summer other lines are busyier and need more coaches...

when did 156415 come back to EMT?

There's been a number of 6 car 158's on the route today...

Re-read dk1's post; it hasn't returned. It worked 2P30 1706 Norwich to Great Yarmouth yesterday:

I think most everton fans who came by rail went via london as it's 20 minutes faster.
