Bad79

one on fire at somerleyton today any news? pics?. But there isnt anything wrong with them i am sure its NWR fault somewhere

There trains a Junk end of. If Ga hadnt cut on the software they should have worked but lets be honest they fail all the time switch it off and back on again. But when GA walk away it will be someone else who has the problem

i can see the acle branch from my house and i am sure i can still hear them when they are at stracey arms. they are louder than the 37s. These are ment to be an improvment really??? lads to keep them in service turn the fans up to max, then we can had the keys in because of the coronavirus then as we forked up the order they will be some elses problem . i can see it comming how they can exit

They sound like a hoover really loud. they used to just have a high pitched noise . If you can remember the class 170's used to be loud when they had leafs over the vents. That is how they sound...

Has anyone noticed how loud the engines are now getting when running on fuel? I dont know if its one unit or a couple but they/it sounds louder than 37's they replaced. Least you can hear 5 miles up the track when your train has left norwich you can hear it before you see it.... Russ was that you today with the MK3s when you were in the rear loco?

so one sat down at bury yesterday for 3 hrs until thunderbird one was on route.... Today heard that fuel dump in crown point lost the lot. look great from the outside. i can see them moved or taken onto electric only if and when GA get removed

A washer at Crown point that fits the profile of the trains would be a start!!! that way the skirts wont look like they have been to Inverness and back in a day. Monday will be the interesting bit IF the wherry lines fully reopen as others have said still not overly impressed with them. Also noticed due to the smaller fuel tanks the amount of cars running around now up and down the main someone really did not think that through verywell

I was at the top of the stairs looking for Basil's did make us all laugh(running in the one winter without a chance of snow) and then stuck behind Q train

I saw him over a swing bridge but wasnt Reedham or Somer

I saw you today, i waved!!! Are we expecting bad weather??? Does NWR knowing something everyone else doesnt

nor the NRW staff who also deal with the fall out

Really they are settling down? not a day goes by on the Norfolk local lines without some fault per shift

i dont belive in the rail a number of tocs have met full PRM and is there any reason MKIII cars going off lease could not have been used ? oh hold on COST

To be fair dont think Bombardier can been seen now as a uk wise company it is just i global company making money now. i dont belive we have any true companys left in th euk

Maybe there should have been a slower change over from old to new there was too much hast to change with the old stock going and costs mounting up. When the Class 170 came into Eastanglia there was back up in the 150/153. However here there was nothing most had gone and the 37's when they had finished the RHTT were not re-hired on a spot basis again i would suspect down to cost i was going on what a previous poster had put to me, i also think GA had said this a couple of times Is it not the case that most if not all the trains mentioned were built by companys who had experience with the uk market. Maybe with the Stadler the trust was too much and not fully understanding the uk market and systems

No a whole fleet has never been replaced putting all eggs in one basket as GA found out to their cost. 100's and 100's of people have now taken to cars/busses other modes of transport because of the poor service. I understand we are stuck with them but a persons view from the front( not that means much now days) line is they are still not that good stupid little faults which should not be happening PA fault is a common one and Door fault

lets be honest seems like GA can no longer hide behind the " Signalling problem" any longer the bio trains are kack maybe over complicated and they do not work. Even if someone from GA comes on here to defend them they do not work well at all. people might say they are settling down are they? the ones service are helped by the 2 156 and 1 170 are helping whilst they changing the 755 which have faults. One coulnt move out of norwich without failing and that was under test. Now seems people cant say anything as its classed as a derogatory comment

Oi railway way it is ur 755 oh sorry ga 755, as ur nothing to do with them.I am told old stock touch rail with50p new755 5p. I hearing all over nothing t do with Cromer line
