    14:39 You very seldom see stuff like that, a nice piece of railway history right there

    Nice one Sarah!
    Its a good little line. Lowestoft is a decent end-line station and the East Suffolk line is important, allowing access to Ipswich then on to London.

      I first rode the East Suffolk Line in 1978. It was double track throughout then, all the way from Ipswich to Lowestoft. These days, it's been singled through Wickham Market, and north of Halesworth, although a passing loop has been installed and a platform reinstated at Beccles. Lowestoft Station had an overall roof then as well.

    Halesworth, Beccles, Aldeby, Haddiscoe High Level, St Olaves(where I grew up), Belton/Burgh Castle and Yarmouth Southtown. Also via Fleet Junction at Haddiscoe it was possible to go to Norwich on the Wherry Line if need be. I think freight used that mainly. Plus Yarmouth Beach was available via the Breydon Viaduct..

    Very good video Sarah. I thought Darsham was the station with the Indian restaurant. But that is of course Oulton Broad South. Darsham is in the book "The Unlikely Spy" by Daniel Silva.

    Brilliant video Sarah. Must admit I didn't know about the moving platforms
    I think if I saw any ghosts of monks, I'd be running for the first train out

    Brilliant video Sarah, a station that smells of nail varnish remover? I don't think i've heard that one before lol. It's a shame you haven't found any ghosts of monks, that would of been something to see lol.

    Hmmm ... nice comfortable train ( ? ) .... in the 1970's the rolling stock was an old rattly diesel 2 car " railbus " 😝... but the flower boxes on Beccles station ( impressive ! ) ...... DAVE™🛑

    Darsham Level crossing is somewhat of an anomaly, usually the drivers white light setup is used for AOCL/ABCL crossings with Darsham being an AHB it is a mitigation in the up direction only due to trains stopping at the station and the general busyness of the A12. The crossing only activates once the train is in the station in the up (Ipswich bound) direction.

    The London trains down the East Suffolk line, well, from the late 40's to the late 60's one of them was actually a named train! It even had a restaurant car, rather than a buffet!
