NEWSFLASH No. 1

The Ipswich to Felixstowe line became part of the East Suffolk Community Rail Partnership from the start of the winter rail timetable on Sunday, 9th December.   The line will benefit from the enhanced local marketing and promotional activity that the partnership has developed.   To celebrate the extended partnership and to promote Suffolk County Council's "Get on Board" travel initiative, a Class 156 two-carriage local train features Suffolk's "Get on Board" and the East Suffolk CRP brand, logos and website addresses. It operates on many routes in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex to further promote the East Suffolk lines partnership.

NEWSFLASH No. 2

On Wednesday, 27th February, 'One' Railway was renamed 'National Express East Anglia' in a ceremony at Liverpool Street station.   Trains will gradually be repainted in the new livery.   Andrew Chivers, Managing Director of the National Express group says that the aim of the company's strategy is to make travel simpler for passengers.   It's not just about a logo or livery, it's about the whole way we deliver our service.   From a single website to a common uniform to easier ways of buying your ticket, we want to make travelling with us a more attractive, more convenient option......   Our investment programme includes:

* New measures to increase even further the punctuality levels being achieved

* A major station upgrade programme covering 13 key stations
* New ticketing systems enabling us to match supply more closely to demand on our intercity services and so offer more advance purchase tickets
