Derailed: What happened to Norwich in 90?
Norwich in 90 died a quiet death in the pandemic but we've been told it could be coming back.
Hello and welcome back to The Seeker - and an extra warm welcome to all the new readers who have signed up this week. 👋
It took years to secure, but disappeared after a few short months. Today, we’re looking at how the campaign to get trains running between Norwich and London in 90 minutes was won, but then lost. We also reveal a bid to bring the service back in spring next year. 🤞
You have one more week to shape the future of The Seeker by doing our quick reader survey (results coming next week!) and our usual to-do list is at the bottom.
Many thanks for reading and happy weekend 👻,
Tom
All aboard 🚂
The birth of 'Norwich in 90' was long and noisy, but its death was quick and quiet.
Monday, May 20th 2019: Smartly dressed politicians and dignitaries (as well as the local press), gathered early at Norwich Station to celebrate a long-promised milestone. The first train to get to London in 90 minutes was about to leave.
