Ipswich (24/2/11)

I got the oppentunity to visit Ipswich on a lovely sunny afternoon. The Class 90's were all on their booked diagrams but they were being delayed by tresspassing in the Manningtree area and then signalling problems near Stowmarket added to the delays. There were a few Turbostar's around working their booked diagrams to/from Cambridge, Lowestoft and Peterborough.

360 116 and 360 121 were working the two London to Ipswich services in the video. I got the bonus of seeing multilivered 321 445 + 321 337 + 321 315 arriving from Colchester depot to take over 360 116's diagram for the evening peak.

Powerhaul 70 008 passed through on a very long Freightliner in addition to First GBRF 66 702 (Cromer Lifeboat) hauling the daily Oil Tanks from North Walsham Oil Depot to Harwich Parkstone Quay and 66 592 on another Freightliner.

I hope you enjoy my latest video from Ipswich.

never seen a desiro that far North and as for the 321s 3 trains 3 Liverys, only with NXEA

@SouthernNorthener2 Desiro's have operated to Ipswich since 2003. Yes only with NXEA can you expect to see three different livered 321's on 1 train. Btw the 321's had come empty from Colchester to work the 15:52 stopping train to London.

[Desiro360]

@class180matt Thanks, it is definately worth visiting. At the station you get to see Freighliner Locomotives stabled at the Freightliner depot and you also get Class 90's hauling Mk3's on the Norwich - London services. :)
