What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Will they be coupling together? In the same way as Stansted to Cambridge and Cambridge to Norwich services are combined, London-Ipswich and Ipswich-Felixstowe/Lowestoft/Peterborough services should be combined too. As should London to Norwich and Norwich to Sheringham and Gt Yarmouth. Potentially London-Ely-Norwich services could run too.
Also, do you think preserved lines should be electrified and the class 317 preserved?

They can run in multiple formations and as one train’s computer can determine the formation, you’ll probably find Stadler have tested up to at least three trains in formation.
I have read somewhere that in rescue mode a twelve-car Hitachi Class 800 train could rescue another.
You have to remember that the Swiss recently ran a train that was 25 separate trains and 1.91 km. long.
As Greater Anglia have run a Liverpool Street and Peterborough service and a Liverpool Street and Lowestoft service in the last fifty years, I could see this being the service they could run.
Two Class 755 trains running as a pair would leave Liverpool Street for Ipswich.
The train would replace the current third Liverpool Street and Ipswich service.
At Ipswich the trains would split.
One train would go to Peterborough with stops at Stowmarket, Bury St. Edmunds, Soham, Ely and March.
The other would go to Lowestoft with stops at Woodbridge, Melton, Wickham Market, Saxmundham, Darsham, Halesworth, Brampton, Beccles and Oulton Broad South.
Fourteen towns would get new direct services to London.
