FM Rail (Fragonset) have advised that they are supporting the ACoRP
Community RailFest at Norwich this weekend. They will be providing BR Blue 45112 and recently re-liveried 47832 as part of a locomotive display to be staged at Norwich station over the weekend and they will be
operating services on Saturday between Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft using a Class 31 and Class 33 in push-pull mode, a first over these routes.

FM Rail are also moving a number of other celebrity locomotives, D1023
55019 73138 84001 and 89001, to form a display at Norwich Station over
the weekend.

Also 87019 and 87002 have arrived at Norwich. 019 is due to work a train from London to Norwich for the Community Railfest on Saturday. There's some mumblings about the rolling stock being out of the ordinary - whether it's going to be the first public outing of the refurbished "one" geriatric Mk3's (only twelve months late, not bad...) or something else (Fragonset Intercity liveried rake?) we'll have to await the rumour mill grinding into action.

Looks like it's going to be a fun weekend, and of course the Anglia Plus day rangers are still available and good value.

87002 is covering for 87019 on mail for GBRF isn't it? I'd love to go but being 225 miles away with a 5 hour train journey in between, I can't. Hope those who are going will have a nice time.

For those probably not interested, i will be going for a look at norwich tomorrow, and will post some results on my website, http://www.davesrailwayphotos.tk will also post some here if people want.

The lineup looks quite good and they are going to be moving around in station confines according to One
