Greater Anglia Brings Back At-Seat Trolley Service on Norwich to Stansted Trains

Greater Anglia passengers travelling between Norwich and Stansted Airport are once again able to buy refreshments from their seats after the operator extended its trolley service trial on the route.

The at-seat catering trial resumed on Monday 18 May and is now available on selected services running Monday to Saturday in both directions.

Passengers using the service can buy snacks, sandwiches, hot drinks, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks during their journey. A meal deal option is also available.

The trial is focused on the Norwich to Stansted Airport route, which also serves key locations including Thetford, Ely and Cambridge.

The trolley service is operating on the following trains:

Norwich to Stansted Airport

• 09:27 Norwich to Stansted Airport

• 10:27 Norwich to Stansted Airport

• 11:27 Norwich to Stansted Airport

• 13:27 Norwich to Stansted Airport

• 14:27 Norwich to Stansted Airport

• 15:23 Norwich to Stansted Airport

Stansted Airport to Norwich

• 11:46 Stansted Airport to Norwich

• 12:46 Stansted Airport to Norwich

• 13:46 Stansted Airport to Norwich

• 15:46 Stansted Airport to Norwich

• 16:46 Stansted Airport to Norwich

• 17:48 Stansted Airport to Norwich

Greater Anglia said extending the trial will allow it to assess demand and gather feedback from passengers and staff as it considers how at-seat catering could support longer journeys on the route.

Michael Wyatt, Head of Customer Experience, Greater Anglia, said:

“We are pleased to bring back the at-seat trolley service on selected Norwich to Stansted Airport trains. This is an important regional route, connecting Norwich, Thetford, Ely, Cambridge and Stansted Airport, and we know many customers value the option to buy refreshments during their journey. By extending the trial, we can continue to listen to customers and colleagues, understand demand, and see how an at-seat catering service can best support longer-distance journeys on this route.”
