As a result the current 40m long x 1.2m wide platform will be extended top 80m long and 1.6m wide to accommodate the new class 755 Flirt trains being introduced on the route later this year The station will be closed from 11 March until 08 May this year to enable the works to take place. This is the largest investment on the Bittern Line since 2000 when re-signalling of the route was undertaken.  less

    Ian Dinmore I learnt something today... The Platypus is only one of a few creatures that lays eggs and produces milk for their young - that means it can make it's own custard

It is managed by the East Suffolk Lines CRP on an "understanding" arrangement from Greater Anglia - it is all very informal and we have been advised that when the East Suffolk & Wherry Lines take over tjhe old Parcels Office officially with a lease agreement from the TOC, (after it has been refurbished at cost to the CRP's) the TOC want to re-let the current office on commercial terms.
    As for working, we pay for electricity through a meter but water is free. The office also serves at a Visitor Information Point since Waveney District Council closed all their TIC's due to finance cuts. We have inherited all the furniture and equipment from the old TIC and now help visitors arriving at the station.
    What I find essential is access to my laptop FREE highspeed WiFi (courtesy of Greater Anglia free station wi fi) a good mobile phone signal and somewhere to make the essential tea/coffee.

  • Richard Burningham Don't forget - the ACoRP Members' Survey closes at midday on Weds (25th). We're looking for each member CRP or Station Adoption Group to complete it (one per group). If yours hasn't yet, please do so. It's a key tool in ACoRP's planning https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/acorpms19

    We have an office on Lowestoft station which I use to work out of my Council Office. It is managed by the East Suffolk Lines CRP on an "understanding" arrangement from Greater Anglia - it is all very informal and we have been advised that when the East Suffolk & Wherry Lines take over tjhe old Parcels Office officially with a lease agreement from the TOC, (after it has been refurbished at cost to the CRP's) the TOC want to re-let the current office on commercial terms. As for working, we pay for electricity through a meter but water is free. The office also serves at a Visitor Information Point since Waveney District Council closed all their TIC's due to finance cuts. We have inherited all the furniture and equipment from the old TIC and now help visitors arriving at the station. What I find essential is access to my laptop FREE highspeed WiFi (courtesy of Greater Anglia free station wi fi) a good mobile phone signal and somewhere to make the essential tea/coffee. Regarding working arrangements for CRP officers I cannot say as I no longer manage the CRP officer, but it was decided by Community Rail Norfolk to have their paid office working from an office rather than from home - this appears not to be happen even throiugh I made some conplex agreements for the post to be based at County Hall!   If working with TOC staff, there must be some sort of agreement in place as to code of behavior and H&S arrangements - the CRP officer must understand what the TOC arrangements for this are?   Ian Dinmore Vice chair Wherry Lines CRP

Or are there specific things that you want to do on the mobile site but can't?  Mike, I wear glasses and the text is still too small to read on 4.5" screen - might just be me? Thanks Ian
