National Express East Anglia Railway (NEARly)
One Railway becomes National Express East Anglia today. The franchise hasn’t changed - NE has owned it for some time. Seeing as some trains still have a livery displaying Great Eastern, some First Great Eastern, some First, some ‘One’ (which were updated to ‘One’ just a few months ago) and now National Express.
Who’s paying for this change to carriages every time? Just a year or two ago ‘One’ started updating their fleet to the pink, black and blue interior and exterior, and now it’s changing again. And the franchise is up for grabs in three years - will it change again?
In all of those changes, I honestly can’t recall a major difference between Network South East, Great Eastern, First Great Eastern or ‘One’.
