"Looking for a bit of peace and quiet on a Greater Anglia train between London and Norwich? Coach M is a designated Quiet Coach, where passengers must keep their phones on silent and take calls elsewhere. I’ve found it great for getting some work done or when I just want to relax with a book. "

"Greater Anglia’s new trains have really helpful passenger information screens that will help you find a free seat. You’ll see a graphic showing the train’s carriages in relation to where you are and carriages will either indicate three green blocks (almost empty), two green blocks, one green block or ‘Full’."
