Great trip! enjoyed watching it. It's rare to see 2 class 90's on one liner.

@ngin350 thanks yea it is reasonably rare, it was because two were needed at Ipswich to haul two different liners southbound once they arrived

Excellent footage and very good vantage point.

I find it kind of wierd how so many of the smaller trains and all of the frieghts roar through here, while virtually all the Norwich to London "intercity" services stop. Make sense dunnit!?

[DRS47501]

@soundseeker63 thanks yea I think its because as they are only 3 coaches they are very busy without extra people getting on at intermediate stops. Will be 8 coach stopping EMUs from December timetable though.
