The Great Eastern Railway (GER) was a railway of extreme contrasts; it provided an intensive suburban service over a network of lines in the North to East sector of outer London; it ran some quite prestigious express services between London and Norfolk; it also ran some equally prestigious trains to compliment its Continental Maritime ferry service, yet over much of the area it served there were sleepy branch lines in rural districts as exemplified by the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway.
