East Suffolk railway line set for upgrade work Rail passengers planning to travel on the East Suffolk Line this spring are being urged to check their journeys in advance, ahead of vital engineering work taking place over several weekends in March.

I hope they fix Lowestoft to Saxmundham too. The priority seems to be Ipswich to Sizewell for good reason, there is plenty of jointed track north of there to clickety-clack and rock and roll on.

In 1964 when I was about 15, I travelled from Leicester to Stuttgart overnight on my own by train and ferry, for an exchange visit. While there, I visited a loco maintenance depot. I found 3 degrading slides yesterday. No hi-vis 😲

Such a lovely city. Great kibbeling to be found there too 😀

MP calls for extra Suffolk rail services to 'unlock opportunity' on east coast Suffolk MPs say trains every 30 minutes would better serve commuters on "lifeline" Ipswich to Lowestoft train line.

Exactly my sentiments too! Need to smooth out the tracks north of Saxmundham, and increase line speed also.
