NEWS
Our 2019 Annual General Meeting is at
1030 on Saturday 4 May in the Riversdale Centre, Tanner Street, Thetford.
Issued 13 March 2019
Following problems last autumn, we
monitored the arrival in Thetford for a week of three key commuter trains home
from Cambridge, four from Norwich and three expresses from Liverpool which
carry a few commuters and more business travellers home to Thetford. All of the
monitored services ran, with 98% reaching Thetford within ten minutes of
schedule.
