Go East Anglia[2] is a bus operator in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, owned by the Go-Ahead Group. The group consists of Konectbus and Hedingham & Chambers.

History

[edit]

Go East Anglia was initially formed in 2010, when the Go-Ahead Group purchased Konectbus.

In 2012, Go-Ahead also purchased Anglian Bus, Hedingham and Chambers. Anglian Bus was quickly merged into the Konectbus brand, rendering the name obsolete quickly.

Subsidiaries

[edit]

Go East Anglia originally did not operate any buses in its own right, with all being legally operated by Konectbus Limited, H.C.Chambers & Son Limited or Hedingham & District Omnibuses Limited. However, the different companies remain distinct brands. In 2018, all the companies' vehicles were brought together under the Konectbus licence.

Fleet

[edit]

As at November 2019, Go East Anglia operated 190 buses and coaches from nine depots.[3]
