The Great Eastern Railway (GER)

The Great Eastern Railway (GER) was a major railway company in England established in 1862, serving the eastern regions, including London and East Anglia. It played a key role in connecting cities, towns, and ports, facilitating passenger travel and freight transportation, especially agricultural and industrial goods. Known for its extensive network and significant contributions to regional development, GER merged into the larger London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1923. Its legacy includes historic stations, infrastructure, and a vital part of the UK's transportation history, reflecting the railway's importance in shaping regional commerce and mobility during the railway era.
