The true Jazz services only lasted until 1926 when the service frequency and intensity was cut down due to the General Strike and rising competition from trams, trolley buses, motorbuses and private cars meant that the service on the former GER suburban lines was never brought back up to its planned level. The GER supplied separate luggage compartments for most of its main line stock. A more ornate style of construction replaced this type in 1882, but this did not last long - the GER was never a rich railway. To help with this the coaches had their doors painted in different colours to identify the class of each compartment - first class were painted yellow and second class for blue, with the third class accommodation which made up the majority of all the GER's trains being unmarked.

The North Country Continental operated between Harwich and Manchester Piccadilly usually being routed via March and the GNGEJR route. After 1862 there were still a number of companies operating independently in East Anglia, but most of these were eventually taken over by Great Eastern, although some such as the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway survived until 1923. Specific military traffic was generated at Brimsdown, Ponders End and Stowmarket. Hugely popular when Felixstowe was a resort by the 1930s it was in decline and sold to Fisons in 1952. [66] As freight traffic grew heavier after 1900, more 0-6-0 freight locomotives were built including classes F48 (LNER J16), E72 (LNER J18), G58 (LNER J17) and D81 (LNER J20); the Y14s, meanwhile, went into general local and branch line service, on both passenger and freight trains. 1285 and 2238 .

At this time the locomotives were generally allocated to the major shed in the area and the smaller sheds had no actual allocation.[36]. This would shave further crucial seconds of the time required for each intermediate stop when compared to the more usual technique of cutting speed on the approach to stations, making an initial part-application of the brake and easing the train to a stop. Finally mention must be made of the Decapod which was the first 0-10-0T built in Britain, and possibly the only locomotive built for purely political purposes in order to block the passage through Parliament of a new rival scheme for an electric railway.

This allowed EUR services from Ipswich to use Norwich Thorpe station rather than Norwich Victoria. Before the war the GER had recruited the American executive Henry Worth Thornton - former superintendent of the Long Island Rail Road (in many ways an American counterpart to the GER, operating an intensive commuter service in and out of New York City) - as its general manager. Plans to electrify the former GER system had been developed in the 1930s and were put into action under British Railways. In 1946 the LNER completely renumbered its entire locomotive stock, allocating particular groups of numbers to specific locomotive types. Although proceedings were initiated no prosecution resulted.[16]. The 2-4-2Ts, of which none survive, were mostly cascaded out of suburban traffic by the 1940s and worked until the late 1950s on branch lines. The GER had a total of 11 breakdown cranes. These were applied to all locomotives over a short period of time - probably only a few weeks - and on most locomotives this was done at the running sheds. Similarly, a system of coloured boards representing the destination and/or route of each train was introduced, with the boards being fitted to the rear and sides of the guard's van which would be nearest the concourse at Liverpool Street and enable passengers to quickly find and board their train. The enquiry was unable to determine the exact cause of the accident due to conflicting witness statements. Toggle navigation The last Y14s ran until 1962, and no.

Many original structures it inherited from constituent railways struggled on in various states of disrepair, not only through Great Eastern days, but through its successor company London & North Eastern Railway from 1923 until 1947 and indeed to the end of steam on the Great Eastern in 1959. In total, Thornton and Russell's new optimised service provided an increase in capacity of between 50 and 75 per cent without any major changes to infrastructure, no new rolling stock and a total cost of only 80,000 (3.6 million in 2020 - only a fortieth of the projected cost of electrification). As the train departed, the now-available engine would follow it down the platform before being sent either to one of the refuge bays in the platform ends or to a siding at the approaches to follow another arriving service into another platform in its turn. We hope visitors will find plenty of interest about the former Great Eastern Railway (GER), its predecessors and its successors, such as the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), British Railways (BR), Network Rail and the current privatised Train Operating Companies (TOCs) operating in the East Anglia area.
