wagn is a franchise operator of commuter train services out of London King's Cross and Moorgate stations. Services
Outer Suburban: services run from King's Cross to Peterborough, Cambridge and Kings Lynn. West Anglia
Wagn stands for West Anglia Great Northern and initially also operated services from London Liverpool Street to Enfield, Hertford East, Stansted Airport and Cambridge. These services formed the 'West Anglia' part of the WAGN brand and in April 2004 West Anglia services were absorbed into the new 'one' franchise operating all services from Liverpool Street. Both WAGN and "one" are owned by National Express Group. At this point Wagn stopped referring to itself as West Anglia Great Northern and instead as "wagn", spelling each letter out for automated announcements. The public, however, frequently use the term "wagon" to refer to the company and its trains.
During the period when timetable reliability was at an all-time low, the expressions We Ain't Going Nowhere and Wait Ages Get Nowhere became popular with some more cynical travellers, names which seems to have stuck.
Wagn was originally owned by Prism Rail, which was subsequently absorbed by National Express Group.
