Faster trains from Norwich to London Liverpool Street start today after years of campaigning.

Greater Anglia's Norwich in 90 service will also see trains from Ipswich to London in under 60 minutes. The extra four services a day will run from Monday to Saturday.

The inaugural trip from Norwich to London is the 09.00 calling at Ipswich only and arriving at London Liverpool Street at 10.30.

The new 90 minute service will depart Norwich at 09.00 and 1700 (calling at Ipswich at 09.33 and 17.33) and London Liverpool Street at 11.00 and 19.00 (calling at Ipswich at 11.55 and 19.57) and will operate on Mondays to Saturdays.

They will shave 12 minutes off the current fastest journey between Norwich and London and cut the fastest journey between Ipswich and London by 4 minutes.

The new services were a key commitment in the Greater Anglia franchise.
