Our trip to Norwich by train from Sheringham. I left my wife and son in the afternoon and took the train to Diss and back. The chance to ride behind a locomotive in Mk. III stock with slam doors and drop lights is disappearing fast so I thought that I would enjoy it while I could!

170207, GA 14.40 Norwich-Cambridge (1K81, 3L), Norwich station 170207 leaves Norwich station forming the 14.40 to Cambridge.

They all have names associated with the East of England such as this one. 90011 is about to work the 15.30 Norwich to Liverpool Street. One wonders what will happen to the names, or the class 90s for that matter when they are withdrawn from service on this line next year?

170273, GA 16.45 Norwich-Sheringham (2S26, RT), Norwich station A bit of luxury for our journey back from Norwich to Sheringham!
