    It's Hertford, not Hereford by the way. Two different towns

      Noticed that too, along with Harlow Town being placed between Roydon and Broxbourne on the map as opposed to Harlow Mill & Roydon. Found that odd. Maybe he missed that. Both cases are the more notable mistakes in the video (along with Roydon being shown to get two Stratford- Bishop's Stortford services when it only gets the the one (the stopping one; that calls at Enfield Lock)).

    One oddity is that Lakenheath station doesn't have a weekday service. Only one train in both directions on Saturdays while the service is increased on Sundays to accommodate the demand for the RSPB marshes.

    Price wise, it's worth pointing out that GA sells next day advances from Norwich to London. Checking for tomorrow, if I don't care when I go, an advance either way is £35 before Railcard.

    Strange recognising Lowestoft station on the Thumbnail 😂
    Another Future development (which was probably not included since it’s pretty much cancelled) was the reintroduction of the Lowestoft - London route via the East Suffolk line. This was even in Abellio’s franchising agreement I think.
    Main problem was the bottleneck at Ipswich which couldn’t handle another through service so Lowestoft bound services are stuck terminating at Ipswich :/

      Maybe the agenda may be moved forward as the Green party holds a sizeable chunk of East Suffolk council…
