Greater Anglia full journey Norwich to Liverpool Street 22/12/2023

Journey onboard 745003 as the 1P63 from Norwich to London Liverpool Street calling at Diss, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Manningtree, Colchester, Chelmsford, Stratford and London Liverpool Street. Oyster and contactless are only valid between Liverpool Street and Stratford on the Intercity services to/from Norwich. The last station to accept oyster and contactless pay as you go on the Great Eastern Mainline is Shenfield, although contactless (not oyster) would later be extended to Chelmsford and Witham on 8th March 2026 (originally 14th December 2025 but delayed to 8th March 2026 due to technical issues). No catering was available as 745003 had just arrived into Norwich as 1P46 from Liverpool Street which was 15 minutes late. Either way, I finally managed to ride a 745/0 despite the lack of catering! 0:00 - Norwich (START) - Change for EMR and Greater Anglia services to Stansaid Airport ✈️, Sheringham, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth 1:32 - Manual announcement 3:30 - Doors closing 3:50 - Norwich departure 17:26 - Approaching Diss 19:54 - Diss arrival 20:29 - Diss departure 29:10 - Approaching Stowmarket 31:21 - Stowmarket - Change for Greater Anglia services to Cambridge and Peterborough 32:11 - Stowmarket departure 40:18 - Approaching Ipswich 42:00 - Ipswich - Change for Greater Anglia services to Cambridge, Peterborough, Lowestoft and Felixstowe 44:44 - Doors closing 45:14 - Ipswich departure 51:48 - Approaching Manningtree 54:07 - Manningtree - Change for Greater Anglia services to Mistley, Wrabness, Harwich Internationa, Dovercourt and Harwich Town 56:15 - Manningtree departure 1:00:49 - Approaching Colchester 1:02:48 - Colchester - Change for Greater Anglia services to Colchester Town, Clacton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze 1:05:16 - Colchester departure 1:19:27 - Approaching Chelmsford 1:21:25 - Chelmsford - Change for Greater Anglia services to Braintree 1:23:10 - Chelmsford departure 1:43:41 - Approaching Stratford 1:46:26 - Stratford - Change for London Underground Central and Jubilee lines, DLR including services to London City Airport ✈️, Elizabeth line, London Overground Mildmay line and Greater Anglia services to Southend Airport ✈️, Meridian Water and Bishops Stortford 1:48:00 - Stratford departure 1:52:44 - Approaching Liverpool Street, where this train terminates 1:55:40 - Liverpool Street (END) - Change for London Underground Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan and Northern lines, Elizabeth line, London Overground Weaver line, Great Northern and Greater Anglia services to Stansaid Airport ✈️, Hertford East and Cambridge 1:56:57 - Leaving the station
