Abellio Greater Anglia has a fleet of diesel multiple units of type Class 90 , Mark 3 , Driving Van Trailers , Class 153 , Class 156 and Class 170 and a fleet of electric railcar types Class 315 , Class 317 , Class 321 , Class 360 and Class 379 from National Express East Anglia. Because of the short concession period, Abellio Greater Anglia plans not to introduce any new trains.

On May 31, 2015, the Class 315 fleet was handed over to London Overground and TfL Rail and some Class 317 trains were handed over to London Overground. These companies had taken over the routes in North London and East London from the Greater Anglia Concession.

design

Like National Express East Anglia, Abellio Greater Anglia has the same white paint on the rolling stock, but with red instead of blue doors. However, most trains still have the old National Express livery. At the end of 2013, the new Abellio Greater Anglia logos were placed on the trains.

hygiene

In November 2013, an online petition was launched with the aim that the Greater Anglia trains no longer dispose of the wastewater from the train toilets on the rails because the wastewater makes Network Rail employees sick.
