Last chance to ride Greater Anglia’s old Class 317 trains

Today is the last time that Greater Anglia’s old Class 317 electric commuter trains will run on the network, and they’re arranging for people to have one last ride.

The Class 317 trains, which have run on the West Anglia route between Cambridge, Hertford East and London Liverpool Street for over 30 years, covering millions of miles, are being replaced with brand new Class 720 trains. The old Class 317 trains are now primarily used for cover and contingency, rather than on a planned basis, with the last due to be withdrawn from service by the end of July.

To give rail enthusiasts the chance to take a final trip on them, a pair of Class 317 trains will be scheduled to run between Hertford East and London Liverpool Street on Saturday 16th July.

They are timetabled to run between London Liverpool Street and Hertford East.
