Great Eastern Logo Help

[Crossforth]

Good evening everyone

I was wondering if any of you can identify this logo?

I'm trying to work out what period it is from and I can't find any information for it.

I'm sorry it is a tad blurry.

Thanks in advance.

I believe it's the "shadow franchise" logo used before FirstGroup won the initial franchise (which became First Great Eastern).

I think it is the Great Eastern shadow franchise, which existed between the break up of British Rail into business units, and the start of the FirstBus owned franchise, which started in January 1997.

My guess would be a short lived trading name of First Great Eastern? The franchise was 'Great Eastern'.

Yep that’s correct. The E being representative of the seaxes in the Essex coat of arms
