Greater Anglia


GA Trains Limited, trading as Greater Anglia, is a British state-owned train operating company that provides commuter and inter-city services from its Central London terminus at Liverpool Street station to Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and parts of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, as well as many regional services throughout the East of England.
It took over the services of the operator of the same name from Transport UK Group and Mitsui & Co on 12 October 2025.

History

In the lead-up to the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Labour Party of Keir Starmer committed itself to bring the passenger operations of the British rail network back under state ownership. Following its election win, the government introduced the Passenger Railway Services Act 2024 that received the royal assent in November 2024.
In December 2024, it was announced that Greater Anglia's contract would be terminated after the Department for Transport activated a break clause, with DfT Operator taking over services on 12 October 2025.
In January 2026, Greater Anglia announced installation of new anti-trespass measures. Figures from 2025/26 revealed that trespass incidents caused more than 18 days' worth of delays, as a result the installation of additional fences, gates and witches' hats at stations in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
