Trains at: Norwich, GEML, 13/07/24

[@TFGtransport]

Back to the Geml! Yay! Im starting to trainspot now aswell at my local (just remember you inspired me) keep it up you carried my childhood ❤

[@Tornado922]

I'm very flattered to hear that and I hope you're having a great time with this wonderful hobby!

[@legitibitmaster3264]

They’ve slightly reintroduced the Norwich in 90 on Saturday calls at diss adds on the extra minute or 2 & at Ipswich it sits there for like 5 mins for pathing time so doesn’t catch up with the 18:30 surplus upfront.

[@Tornado922]

Ah right ok

[@alanmolyneux5957]

Last time I was in Norwich was 2016. In addition to the traction you mentioned there was also top and tail 68 diagrams. Since then Chiltern, Northern, Scotrail and TPE have all had 68 diagrams. Sadly, only Chiltern use them now and with much reduced diagrams.

@@LNER985 Sadly it is, the GEML has lost it's charm when it had the older rolling stock running around the network. With the Stadler units taking over every operation of intercity and inter-regional travel across Norfolk there just isn't anything good for enthusiasts to see anymore unless something rare comes along like a railtour

[@LNER985]

@@Tornado922 No it isn't. Just you disrespecting the railway workers and railway enthusiasts in East Anglia.

[@Tornado922]

@@LNER985 Oh grow up, you've used this argument before on this channel against other users who haven't in the slightest disrespected railway workers or enthusiasts. All they have done just like myself is give an opinion on the matter which I am perfectly entitled to do. Now why on earth you've this crazy notion in your head that I'm in some outrageous way disrespecting railway workers and enthusiasts is beyond me! Now I'm not going to be blocking you from my channel but if you continue to act in this manner then I will have no choice. I do not tolerate your kind of behaviour.

Great video, Jarred. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi mate great video as usual if your new to spotting takes about 3 trips to Norwich to clear up the GA fleet i am from Lowestoft good to see you visited Norwich looking forward to the Ipswich video for plenty of freight👍🏻

[@Tornado922]

Thanks very much, I've been spotting for several years now and this was my second ever visit to Norwich and sadly will be my last. I found this to be very boring with the lack of variety, Ipswich wasn't much better.

[@madbanana2495]

I have been to Kelvedon! It was an alright station. You get the stopping trains to Colchester and Ipswich (and Liverpool street) and the non stopping trains going to Clacton and Norwich (and Liverpool street)

[@Tornado922]

Kelvedon is an alright station, I would only go there if I could get some freight passing through to break up the monotony of passenger traffic

[@Desiro360]

Welcome back to East Anglia. Great video. Hope you had a great time. 😀

It's their power unit for running on diesel

Quite a simple video really nothing wrong with that not much variety tho I would say do Norwich get freight

[@Tornado922]

Unfortunately this will be my last time at Norwich as it was just so boring right from the start, and no it will never get any freight because it's a terminus station

[@alextrainspotterhd6444]

@@Tornado922 ahh I see okay that’s a shame never knew it was a terminus station

[@Rocksock531]

Actually there is freight sidings at Norwich used for stone container trains but they probably only operate on weekdays. There are also special trains that operate from Norwich like the York Yuletide Express - you’d have to time a visit well in order to catch one though.

Woooooo

[@Trainspotterted]

Stadlers have taken over 😂

[@Tornado922]

That they have!

[@ShaiExploresDaily]

Hi Jarred, the first class on the 745s aren’t great. It’s just an open area with a bit more room. Also from a trainspotters point of view , with the change of rolling stock on the GEML it’s limited the various types of rolling stock (720, 745 & 755). Before there was the 321, 315, 360, 317 and class 90s

[@Tornado922]

The GEML of old was much better with all the traction we had running around

[@annatrindall9829]

You don't see an awful lot at Norwich these days...only the dull 755's, 745's, EMR 158"s and 170's. If I'm honest, Ely would be better, at least you get 60,66,69 and the odd 37 there 😊

[@Tornado922]

Norwich has definitely gone down hill with the arrival of these newer trains, there just isn't any variety anymore and I think it's killing the hobby. You are right that with Ely you can get just a little bit of everything if your patient
