Where are the East Anglia RHTTs?

[doris]

Four RHTT sets turned up at stowmarket a couple of weeks back, but so far no DRS locos to operate them.

Leaves have been holding-off with the dry weather - which may explain why no locos, but it's really wet/windy tonight and the 21:00 NRW - [stn]LST[/stn] lost 12 mins in first half hour due to poor railhead conditions.

I'm predicting tomorrow will see similar delays to the morning peak services.

Unforunately, the Anglian (Stowmarket and Broxbourne based)
RHTT trains are always the last to get going - last year for example,
they didn't start running until October 18th!

However, because of the abnormal weather this Autumn, all the other RHTTs
have started running a week earlier than usual, so hopefully the Anglian trains
will also kick off a bit sooner...

I was told by a contact yesterday that they were supposed to start Sunday just gone but due to the dry weather the start date has been defered. Shouldn't be too long now as the wind and rain is/will start to pick up.
