Greater Anglia stops fast train services from Cambridge to London Liverpool Street
Fast train services between Cambridge and London Liverpool Street are to stop, as part of Greater Anglia’s plan to reduce its timetable.
The move, which comes into force from next Monday (January 25), is in response to lower passenger numbers due to Covid-19 restrictions.
It has been taken in consultation with the government, which is currently funding the railway.
Greater Anglia will continue to run services so that essential travellers can still get to work or medical appointments – with about 72 per cent of usual services still running.
Off-peak daytime services on rural routes in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire will be reduced – generally to two-hourly – with some peak service reductions too.
In total, 379 of Greater Anglia’s weekday services are due to be cancelled. On a normal timetable, the company runs 1,372 services every weekday.
Saturday services are also being reduced in line with weekday services, and some changes are planned for Sunday services too.
Network Rail is carrying out engineering works at different locations around the network over coming weekends, which are listed in the “service alterations” section of the Greater Anglia website.
Revised timetables will also be available on the Greater Anglia website or app.
