RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted July 27, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2019 Slightly firmer date of Monday now given for the short set going to hot standby and a 755 into service - one of the drivers has been briefed and there's staffing in place for Monday. Still not 100% until it happens but .. the end is very nigh unfortunately. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted July 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) 755 410 just left Norwich, presumably to Lowestoft to form the first in-service train. A member of staff said it had left Norwich in service but I don't think it was. The only occupants looked like staff. And I was the only non staff person to see it go out.

Pete 75C Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm aware that a test train made it to Sheringham shortly after the platform was lengthened, but I understood a bridge (nr. Runton?) needed some work before regular runs? Can anyone confirm that? It's great that the 755 has begun on the Yarmouth/Lowestoft route, I'm just curious as to how far down the pecking order Cromer/Sheringham is.

Sheringham always looks spit thin (you can see daylight when walking under it and looking up), so I wondered if it was that one. I'm sure they're all fine and I got that wrong.

RMweb Gold russ p Posted July 30, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2019 That got a big repair a few years back after a lorry hit it , moved it but didn't report it. A train came in had a bit of a wobble over it but stayed in sheringham until a bridge examiner came and escorted it over and the line was shut for a few days until it was repaired. The bridges on Hall road and felbrigg roads are not to good but will be ok for the new stuff 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
