The Greater Anglia network was awarded to a single operator as part of a drive to reduce the number of train companies operating at each major terminus, in an effort to improve integration between services and reliability.

The company is now the sole passenger operator on most of the Great Eastern Main Line. According to The Daily Telegraph, in March 2006, One operated the most overcrowded train in Britain, the 0802 from Cambridge to London Liverpool Street^[1].

Much of the rolling stock is in need of modernisation; class 150s have been replaced by 153s and 156s from Central Trains. The Class 170s are used predominantly on 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.

The past

One had poor industrial relations at the start of the franchise, with strikes by guards and drivers relating to ticket machines and rest day working respectively, but these issues were later resolved.

Changes to the timetable were implemented in December 2005 in accordance with DfT requirements ^[2], which left some stations without any off-peak service, although a new route was introduced between Hertford East and Stratford. Other timetable changes resulted in reduced access to the Berney Marshes by means of Berney Arms railway station but an extra 3,000 seats on the West Anglia Route ^[3].

The intercity trains inherited by One used locomotive-hauled Mark 2 sets of coaches. The Mark 2 sets were replaced with ex-Virgin Trains Mark 3 sets and all 116 Mark 3 coaches were refurbished. Replacing the Class 86 locomotives and Mk2s with Class 90s and Mk3s from the WCML was criticised as a result of their poorer condition resulting from a lack of maintenance and cleaning before they were withdrawn from service with Virgin. 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.^[4] These changes did result in improvements though: the class 90s were probably the main factor in the 17% improvement in the 'miles per 5-minute delay' figure in the year up to October 2006, but this still left One behind all the other ex-Intercity services, in terms of performance.

The present

Performance of the class 360 trains improved dramatically over the 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 at 31,563 miles. On the same measure, the class 321s 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 the class 315 and 317 trains operated by One are more mixed and less easy to summarise. The reliability of the Class 156 Super Sprinters improved by 86%, leading to a 'Silver Spanner' award for the Crown Point depot at Norwich. Their miles per 5-minute delay figure of 5894 was however still some way behind the 8544 miles for the Class 156s of ScotRail.

ScotRail was the brand name under which British Rail and following privatisation, National Express operated passenger rail services in Scotland and cross border services to Northern England and London. ...

Many of the delays experienced on the One network relate to the state of the railway infrastructure and how close they operate to capacity. Overhead line equipment is of serious concern to One - some of it is of 1940s vintage out as far as Shenfield. One has asked for an independent report to validate what Network Rail is doing and to ensure they are being treated fairly. Over Christmas and New Year 2007/8 there will be a major blockade on train services on the mainline in order for much of the outer London overhead line equipment to be replaced with modern, self tensioning lines. Problems with overhead line equipment were responsible for major delays on the One network on the 19th and 20th of April near Ingatestone. This resulted in major delays and cancellations as a result of single line working. Network Rail, the company responsible for the infrastructure, have admitted in their 2007 Great Eastern Business Plan that the majority of performance issues with One are Network Rail's responsibility - the infrastructure One uses - such as signalling equipment.[1] , Shenfield is a small village in the London Commuter Belt in the borough of Brentwood in Essex, England. ... Network Rail is a British not for dividend company limited by guarantee whose principal asset is Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, a company limited by shares. ...

For the 12 months ending October 13th 2007, the average punctuality for all 'one' services was 88.8%. A service is recorded as punctual if it arrives at its destination within 5 minutes of its scheduled time, or 10 minutes if it is an Intercity train. [2]
