Title: Is it better in the East? Post by: grahame on August 09, 2018, 19:58:17 From the Eastern Daily Press (http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/train-company-defends-record-after-two-services-cut-short-within-a-week-1-5645335)
Quote Train company defends record after two services cut short within a week Greater Anglia has defended its record on a busy north Norfolk rail route after two services were cut short part-way through their journeys within the past week, leaving passengers stranded. But North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb has called on the firm to explain what had happened, saying it had “fallen short” on a number of occasions. The Norwich to Sheringham train - known as the Bittern Line - 2.45pm service on August 3 was terminated at Cromer, as was the 2.45pm service on August 7, which was also 31 minutes late. Greater Anglia said the first incident was due to “waiting for a train crew member” and the second was “due to a speed restriction”. Can't help feeling that these problems would have gone below the radar on Northern, Southern or Great Western. Ow was it a REALLY slow news day and an MP taking advantage of a pressing opportunity in West Runton?
