The Anglian Adventurer

In advance of The Canterbury Christmas Cantata the following day, why not join us for a great value positioning move from Great Yarmouth to London Liverpool Street and Newark Northgate via some classic routes for Class 37s. Our traction will be two Class 37s working top and tail, provided by EPR and HNRC/Swietelsky. For those so inclined, you can start your day at Great Yarmouth for a run to Norwich via Reedham. Others may choose to join us at Norwich for a more sociable start time. As you might expect our route to London Liverpool Street is not straightforward as we initially travel west to Ely before joining the Soham Branch via Bury St Edmunds. Having journeyed into Suffolk we rejoin the Anglian main line north of Stowmarket, heading towards Ipswich and thereafter pass through Colchester, Chelmsford and Shenfield before entering the urban sprawl of East London and terminating at London Liverpool Street. After a short break we leave London Liverpool Street and travel via Bethnal Green and Seven Sisters, with set downs at Broxbourne, Cambridge North, Ely and Peterborough before making our way via Sleaford and Lincoln to Newark Northgate for an early evening arrival. Whilst we acknowledge the pathing constraints charters face on the mainline, we have not requested any loops or track bobbins on this trip in the hope that Network Rail can provide us with some high-speed running during the day! This tour is operated by Rail Adventure utilizing Mk2 carriages provided by Eastern Rail Services. Providing the soundtrack for the day will be two Class 37s provided by EPR and HNRC/Swietelsky.
