[7:17 am, 30/08/2022] Michael N Turner: 745003 platform 2 arrived at 07:17 for 07:26 Norwich Thorpe to London Liverpool Street cleaning inside quick

[7:23 am, 30/08/2022] Michael N Turner: This was at Harwich Parkston









Should of had one quick clean, then two stable cleans, but this went down to one quick clean and one stable clean.

So did not get 745109 that arrived at platform 2 Norwich Thorpe railway station at 23:22 to clean, as it was locked 🔒 up, and sent to Crown Point Depot, this was used for the 06:28 Norwich Thorpe to London Liverpool Street.


I did not know the 07:26 Norwich Thorpe to London Liverpool Street was going to be the first arrival,  745003 was cleaned at Harwich Parkston Quay last night, and arrived in service at 08:17, we done a littler pick up, and bins, very litter trash on this train, still it would of been nice to know before hand than need to guess, each time it feel that cleaning is not part of the real railway, and some staff enjoy making it harder ?


This train was not on the list I got, may be I should of guessed it, I did just before it came in.

Another give away that it was not just two BMU's, like the day before, was it said 12 coach on the Passenger information screens (PIS), which is 745, if it was 8 coach, then it would be two x four coach BMU 755's..

When I try to tell other what happen, no one else seem to understand, may be no one else can understand me, I do not suit this job at all.

I do fill a bit bitter about this, what I feel has never fixed it in the past, and just help to make it worse.

When I was young, in the 1970, I went to Speech Therapy, and was told that I was just making it up, I have no problems, I still remember where it was, near The Cathedral of St John the Baptist, Unthank Road, on a side road the other side. may be Paragon Place, but looking at Google Maps, I think it is West Pottergate Medical Practice, NR2 4BX, but memory is a strange thing, what I think is true, might not be.
