Train Lengths on the Sunshine Coast Line (Follow up request)

The request was successful.

Dear Network Rail Limited,

I have continued my original request ( https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/w... ) here because the original request has been changed too many times to the point where it is unclear what the intent of the request was.

I am looking for the train lengths for services on the Sunshine Coast Line, a part of the Greater Anglia Franchise. A full description of the service is not required, just the time, start and end point and the services' train length, in metres.
Another way to do this rather than looking at announcements is by what Chris Hogan said on the original request:

"Alternatively Network Rail might release information from its Liverpool Street Station Working Book; perhaps limited to specific services as it appears to be less willing to release complete Station Working Books."

Yours faithfully,

James Baldwin

Please can I check one point about your request, which asks for " ...the time, start and end point and the services' train length, in metres."

Please can you confirm what you mean by "the time" - does this mean the scheduled time when a service is due to start its journey and terminate at the final point of its journey, or do you require full timings throughout a scheduled journey?

Dear Network Rail,
You have asked whether in the phrase 'the time' I mean all the timings of the scheduled stops or just the times of the start and end points.
I can confirm I would like only the start and and times for each service. There may also be another problem with trains uncoupling or coupling. These services could be shown as two separate services to their destinations. e.g a train from Liverpool Street to Colchester Town / Clacton-on-Sea would be shown as Liverpoool Street to Colchester Town, and Liverpool Street to Clacton-on-Sea.

Thank you for asking me to clarify my request, it may have been unclear.

Yours sincerely,

James Baldwin
