Our letter to Lord Adonis - asking for the key improvements which have been recognised by the partnership to be included in the new franchise.

Links to Norwich (taken from his rail tour diary)

Lord Adonis visited Norwich on his rail tour last year. Here's what he had to say: 

"Met with Charles Clarke MP with local council and business leaders, the discussion focussed as much on the west-east Norwich to Peterborough routes as on their desire for a standard one-and-a-half hour journey time from London (it is currently 1h 52m for the 120 miles, the same as London to York, which is another 60 miles further from London and seen by Norwich leaders as a key business location competitor).

As for all the good ideas that have been put forward to me, I intend to see what can be done about them when I get back to London."
