ServicesFirst Great Eastern operated all stops and limited stops services on the Great Eastern Main Line from London Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria, Southminster, {{stnlnk|Braintree|England}}, Colchester Town, Clacton-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze, Harwich Town and Ipswich. It also ran services on the Romford to Upminster Line and Gainsborough Line from Marks Tey to Sudbury.[2]
Rolling stockFirst Great Eastern inherited a fleet of Class 312, Class 315 and Class 321s from British Rail. A Class 153 was hired from Anglia Railways for the Marks Tey to Sudbury service due to it not being electrified, a Class 150 being used on weekdays and a Class 153 on weekends. Prior to this arrangement, a Class 121 Bubble Car was hired from Silverlink.[3] A franchise commitment was the replacement of the Class 312s. In May 2001, First Great Eastern ordered 21 Class 360 Desiros with the first entering service in August 2003.[4]
DepotFirst Great Eastern's fleet was maintained at Ilford depot. DemiseIn 2002, as part of a franchise reorganisation by the Strategic Rail Authority, it was announced that the Great Eastern franchise would be merged into the Greater Anglia franchise.[5] In December 2003, the Strategic Rail Authority awarded the Greater Anglia franchise to National Express, and the services operated by First Great Eastern were transferred to One (later National Express East Anglia) on 1 April 2004.[6] References1. ^Companies House extract company no 3007936 Great Eastern Railway Limited 2. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20030805035944/http://www.ger.co.uk/images/network_large.jpg First Great Eastern route map August 2003] 3. ^"Bubble cars revived, depot opens to solve Great Eastern branch crisis" Rail issue 312 27 August 1997 page 10 4. ^Rail issue 468 20 August 2003 page 9 5. ^Rail issue 426 9 January 2002 page 4 6. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1450062/National-Express-wins-rail-franchise.html |title=National Express wins rail franchise|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|location=London|date=22 December 2003}} External links{{commons category-inline}}{{s-start}}{{s-bef|before=Network SouthEastAs part of British Rail}}{{s-ttl|title=Operator of Great Eastern franchise |years=1997 – 2004}}{{s-aft|after=One Greater Anglia franchise}}{{s-end}}{{UK TOCs|defunct|state=collapsed}} 6 : Defunct train operating companies|First Group railway companies|Railway companies established in 1997|Railway companies disestablished in 2004|1997 establishments in England|2004 disestablishments in England |
