In 2012 it was all change for the railways of East Anglia. After the Government declined an extension to the National Express franchise it was time for a new operator to emerge on to the East Anglian railway scene and Greater Anglia, operated by Abellio, became the new operator. In Greater Anglia: The First Ten Years the author, Adam Head, celebrates their first ten years operating the area. He looks at the varied stock, of different ages, running on the railway and at the liveries of past operators. The years would prove challenging for Greater Anglia as they soldiered on and eventually pioneered new trains that would go on to change train travel in East Anglia and the surrounding areas forever.
This book covers the first ten years of Greater Anglia, with rare and previously unpublished photographs documenting the many changes seen on the railways over the last decade. 183 colour photographs. 96 pages.
