A franchise commitment was to increase the hourly London Liverpool Street and [[Norwich railway station|Norwich]] services to half-hourly.<ref>{{cite magazine |title= Anglia orders eight new Adtranz DMUs to be delivered by June 1999 | magazine = [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=327 |date= 25 March 1998 |page=7}}</ref> The half-hourly service was introduced in 2000 with some extended to [[Sheringham railway station|Sheringham]], [[Great Yarmouth railway station|Great Yarmouth]] and [[Lowestoft railway station|Lowestoft]].

With funding from the [[Strategic Rail Authority]]'s Rail Partnership Funding, Anglia introduced a new experimental service from the [[Great Eastern Main Line]] via the [[North London Line]] to [[Basingstoke Railway Station|Basingstoke]] branded [[London Crosslink]]. It operated from 22 May 2000 until ceasing on 28 September 2002 due to poor loadings.<ref>{{cite magazine |title= Anglia launches Crosslink service | magazine = [[The Railway Magazine]] |issue=1191 |date= July 2000 |page=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title= Farewell Crosslink: Seven passengers was not enough | magazine = [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=446 |date= 16 October 2002 |page=18}}</ref>
