Description
Current Operations
Anglia Railways / One Railway
Anglia Railways inherited a small fleet of seven units, for local services in Suffolk and Norfolk. Services operated by these units included Ipswich to Cambridge, Peterborough, Felixstowe and Lowestoft, and Norwich to Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and Cromer. One set was also hired to First Great Eastern for use on the Sudbury branch.
Anglia Railways named its Class 153 fleet after local celebrities:
- 153306 - Edith Cavell
- 153309 - Gerard Fiennes
- 153311 - John Constable
- 153314 - Delia Smith
- 153322 - Benjamin Britten
- 153326 - Ted Ellis
- 153335 - Michael Palin
In 2003, Anglia started to refurbish its fleet, and repaint them in Anglia Railways livery. However, only two, nos. 153322/35, were completed.
In 2004, Anglia became part of the One Railway franchise operated by the National Express Group.
