Could direct services be introduced between Lowestoft and London again? - Credit: James Bass Direct train services between Lowestoft and London could help the town's post-Covid economic recovery, it has been claimed, as users continue to wait for their introduction. The services had been promised as part of Abellio's nine-year franchise agreement with the Department for Transport, which began in October 2016 and would have seen four trains each way per day between Lowestoft and London. Yet more than four years later, the operator, which trades as Greater Anglia, admits there are "no indications" of when services may be introduced. Services previously ran on the route, but were scrapped in 2010.
