The route also diverges in several places to serve Harwich, Clacton and Southend. The main towns served by the route, starting from London, are listed below. Towns in bold are served by fast InterCity services. Passenger services on the route were previously operated by First Great Eastern for commuter services south of Ipswich, and Anglia Railways for fast InterCity services beyond Ipswich. On 1st April 2004, these franchises were merged to form the new 'One' Railway franchise. Since January 2005, the line now uses 110 mph, streamlined Class 90 electrics, unlike before when it used 40 year old Class 86 electric, which had a top speed of 100 mph
