The Greater Anglia network was awarded to a single operator as part of a drive to reduce the number of train companies operating to major termini, in an effort to improve integration between services and reliability. On April 1, 2004 ‘one’ took over all services formerly operated by Anglia Railways and First Great Eastern, as well as the ‘West Anglia’ services of wagn. The company is now the sole passenger operator on most of the Great Eastern Main Line. In March 2006, ‘one’ earned the dubious distinction of operating the most overcrowded train in Britain, the 0802 from Cambridge to London Liverpool Street^[1]. Anglia Railways was a British Train Operating Company, owned by GB Railways, which between January 1997 and March 2004 operated mainline trains out of London Liverpool Street station and a number of local rail services in East Anglia. ... First Great Eastern was a successful railway company that operated suburban, local and medium distance train services from London Liverpool Street via Romford to Essex and Ipswich. ... wagn was a franchise operator of commuter train services out of London Kings Cross and Moorgate stations. ... The Great Eastern Main Line is the railway line from London Liverpool Street to Ipswich and Norwich. ...

The extensively and expensively marketed name of the new franchise has also been a source of criticism and confusion. In May 2004, the BBC^[2] reported that the company was changing station announcements at Cambridge station by removing the name of the train operating company. Passengers had complained that it was difficult for passengers in the station to differentiate P.A. announcements for the "10:41 train" or the "10:40 ‘one’ train". However, despite rumours to the contrary, the company has no plans to change its brand name.

Unlike other operators in the London area, 'one' allows Oyster card pay as you go to be used on a limited number of its services and has announced roll-out plans for the remaining stations in Greater London. The Oyster card is a form of electronic ticketing used on Transport for London and National Rail services within the Greater London area of the United Kingdom. ...

Services

"one" stands for "operated by National Express" but,despite the choice of the brand name, it emphasizes the bringing together and integration of what had been four separate services. The company initially used sub-branding to try to ease the transition from the former companies’ well-known names:

This sub-branding has now been largely discontinued as it was proving to be confusing to passengers, and all services (other than Stansted Express) are now simply branded ‘one’.

Much of the rolling stock is in need of modernisation. Some locals have criticised the move to replace the Class 150s with Central Trains' 153s and 156s, saying that the 150s were more comfortable. The Class 170s stick predominantly to longer services, as they have slower acceleration than the Class 150, 153 and 156 stock, meaning they cannot stick to the timetables of the many local lines.

Performance

'one’ has been criticised for poor performance, the poor condition of their rolling stock and for making unpopular timetable changes. However, performance data from Network Rail shows that in the year to 4 February 2006 their performance was marginally better than average (86.5% versus 85.8%).

‘one’ made a number of timetabling changes in December 2004, including expanding direct services to London from Lowestoft, Harwich and stations to Peterborough. However this led to some services being cut, such as the Ipswich to Cambridge service, resulting in overcrowding. This was so severe that it meant that the conductor could not get from one end of the train to the other, leading to lost revenue ^[3].

Further changes to the timetable were implemented in December 2005 in order to "meet requirements laid down by the Department of Transport" ^[4], which left some stations without any off-peak service, although a new route has been introduced between Hertford East and Stratford. Changes to the Norwich to Great Yarmouth via Reedham line reduced access to the Berney Marshes by means of Berney Arms railway station. However, these changes introduced an extra 3,000 seats on the West Anglia Route ^[5] ImageMetadata File history File links Download high resolution version (2048x1536, 667 KB) BR Class 317/6, no. ...

The intercity trains used locomotive-hauled Mark 2 or Mark 3 sets. ‘one’ has now finished replacing the Mark 2 sets with ex-Virgin Trains Mark 3 sets and all 116 Mark 3 coaches have now been refurbished. The decision to rapidly replace the Class 86 locomotives and Mk2s with Class 90s and Mk3s fresh from hard work on the WCML led to some criticism, since in many cases they were in worse condition than what they replaced, not helped by the run down in maintenance and cleaning by Virgin before they were withdrawn. ‘one’ also received criticism for its references to "newer" trains, since the Mk3s are in fact only a few years newer than the Mk2s, in some cases being introduced just one year later.^[6] The change from the 40-year old class 86 locomotives to the 16-year old class 90s has probably been the main factor in the 17% improvement in the 'miles per 5-minute delay' figure in the year up to October 2006, but even after this improvement, all the other ex-Intercity services in the UK perform better than 'one' on this measure.

Performance of the class 360 trains has improved dramatically over the last year (up to October 2006), moving from 14,212 miles per 5-minute delay in the previous year, to one of the best in the Country for this year at 31,563 miles. On the same measure, one's class 321s have deteriorated slightly from 21,620 to 21,098 miles - while the class 321s operated by Silverlink show what these trains are capable of, achieving a corresponding figure of 43,267 miles per 5-minute delay. The figures for one's class 315 and 317 trains are more mixed and less easy to summarise. The reliability of the Class 156 Super Sprinters improved by 86% last year, leading to a 'Silver Spanner' award for the Crown Point depot at Norwich. Their miles per 5-minute delay figure of 5894 was however some way behind the 8544 miles for the Class 156s of ScotRail. Silverlink Trains is a regional franchise in the British railway system with routes in suburban London and from London to Northampton. ... ...

The state of the overhead line equipment is of serious concern to 'one' - amazingly some of it is of 1940s vintage out as far as Shenfield. The Company has asked for an independent report to validate what National Rail is doing and to ensure that 'one' is not being treated unfairly.

‘one’ had poor industrial relations when it started operating the franchise, with guards and revenue staff striking over the introduction of new machines, and in December 2005 the drivers’ union ASLEF banned rest day working, although this has since been resolved. The Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) is a British trade union. ...
