During the summer of 2004, the direct line between Norwich and London was blocked by work to increase the
headroom in Ipswich Tunnel. As a result, some Norwich - London trains were diverted via Cambridge, bringing
electric locomotives to the London - Cambridge line after an absence of many years. This is 90018, on hire
from EWS to 'one' Anglia, passing through Broxbourne with the 07.51 Norwich to Liverpool Street on
31 July 2004. |

375616 at Hastings on 29 March. The Class 375 trains (and the similar 376 and 377) began working on the

service. |

An innovation by Arriva Trains Northern during 2003 and 2004 was the use of a loco-hauled train on the
Settle-Carlisle route and for a commuter working between Leeds and Knaresborough. This picture shows the
evening empty stock working, from Knaresborough to Knottingley, passing through Poppleton station on 5 August
2004. 37408 "Loch Rannoch" is at the front of the train, while 37698 is at the rear (out of sight).
