Title: keeping passengers away from replacement bus's,do they try hard enough?
Post by: infoman on December 24, 2018, 07:04:21
Looking at the East Anglia region from an "expert" on BBC News.
Passengers from Norwich and Ipswich be informed there will be replacement bus service's to London
I would have thought a better option would be to travel via Ely/Cambridge to London
Just two trains,
might be a bit longer but it would keep passengers off the buses.
Thoughts anyone?

Capacity issues if they sent too many people that way??   From Norwich, I would probably elect Ely.  From Ipswich, doubling back via Cambridge (and would that be on a very short train) ... probably "no thank you" and on the bus - mind you, I once did Melksham to Swansea on a Sunday via Craven Arms to avoid rail replacement ...
