On 8 June 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Greater Anglia (train operating company) to Greater Anglia. The result of the discussion was moved. |
This page should not be speedily deleted because this page tells about the next railway company who will operate the Greater Anglia franchise. As there is not much detail as present, the amount of information on the subject will be slightly limited. This page will have much more detail when the company starts running train services. -- A1personage ( talk) 20:10, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
This page should not be speedily deleted because the company will start operations in 8 weeks and from then on more will be able to be added. From February many articles will link to this and therefore it should not be deleted. -- Chris0693 ( talk) 20:48, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Although it says so on the page, class 317s are rarely used, normally class 315s until recently, I've lived in the Area for years. Like i said, served by 315s until recently. Lately its being served by 321s, sometimes a 317, someone needs to edit this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.63.223 ( talk) 10:20, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Even though a new legal entity will take over the franchise in October 2016, this article should remain as the article for both pre and post. Precedent set where c2c, Southern and South West Trains franchises were retained by their incumbents, albeit with new legal entities.
Even a rebrand should not be enough to require a new article as witnessed by First Great Western being rebranded Great Western Railway when the current contract commenced. The article should just be renamed with text added about the change in legal entity and trading name.
Nor should the change in franchise name from Greater Anglia to East Anglia as when First Great Western’s franchise was renamed from InterCity Great Western to Greater Western in 2006, a new article was not created. And this involved a quite different franchise map whereas the maps of GA and EA are exactly the same. 94.119.66.43 ( talk) 21:15, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: MOVED to Greater Anglia (train operating company). ( non-admin closure) Mike1901 ( talk) 09:54, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Greater Anglia – Company has resumed trading as Greater Anglia from 16 October. Greater Anglia is currently a disambiguation page for 2 articles, other article being the former name of the
East Anglia franchise that the subject of this article operates. Effectively this will be a restoration of how the article was named prior to January 2014 when the train operating company traded as Greater Anglia, so as was previously the case, this is the primary article.

It'd be great if anybody had an image knocking around of a GA train, preferably a Class 90/DVT as they're on the flagship intercity route, could upload it and replace the current main image! As that image is getting slightly old now, but more importantly the train carries the old 'Abellio Greater Anglia' logos, which could cause confusion to some readers.-- 07Alpha55 ( talk) 21:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

The past fleet table, specifically around the Class 321/360 area is a complete mess - would anyone be able to clear up? Thanks. Mattdaviesfsic ( talk) 07:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, just to inform you all that the Current Fleet table is incorrect as no Class 321/4s remain in service and only 30x Class 321/3s now work for Greater Anglia alongside the 3x Class 321/9s. There are plenty of credible sources to cite for this, as have been used elsewhere on the page and on other pages such as “British Rail Class 321,” but I do not have the skill to remove the Class 321/4 column from the fleet table entirely.

See sections 2.8 to 2.10 of Porterbrook's T's & C's. It would seem to support the way the word "cascade" is used within this article. 10mmsocket ( talk) 11:26, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

– Train operator is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the former name of the franchise it operates. Incoming links of 800 vs one and views in the last 30 days of 8,000 vs 20. Hestroudar ( talk) 02:03, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
Twice already in the past 2 months, anonymous users have tried to make efforts to remove the Fen line from this article, claiming "no operation", when there's clear evidence of operation on this line up to Ely railway station. I'd like opinions on this matter from other users: can it be freely removed or is there an alternative line to mention in this case? Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 17:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
