The Great Eastern Railway (GER) was a major British railway company that operated from 1862 until its merger in 1923. It primarily served the eastern regions of England, connecting cities like London, Norwich, and Ipswich. The GER played a crucial role in the development of rail transport in East Anglia, facilitating trade and travel. The company was known for its innovative engineering and expansion of railway lines. It introduced several important services, including the East Anglian express trains. In 1923, the GER became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) during a significant reorganization of the British railway system.
