Does anyone know what trains ran this route before its electrification? Thanks.

It was operated by the Great Eastern Railway before the LNER, so they would have run things like the "Claud Hamiltons" (D14,D15,D16) and B12s for the express services. Also the D13 for a short while, but these were displaced from express duties before the LNER was formed.
The LNER kept many of these locos in active service for a long time.
They also introduced B17s on the ex-GER expresses.
BR would have introduced BR Standards although I don't know the details.
I think the Britannias were used in East Anglia quite a bit?
