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.
im loving all 3 stations which do look lovely brilliant vlog as always
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..
Hi I am Sarah with the Ghosts 😂 but a great video looking at some of the stations on this route
Maybe I should do a railway ghost hunting series 😂
Excellent video as always 👍
Great video.
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.
Nice video, some brilliant stations and a few signal boxes as well, always good to see.
Always engaging ☺
Great Video Sarah U need to do the Derwent Valley Line Soon and perhaps the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway also
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
Glad you enjoyed it! I would absolutely have run off too if I saw anything!
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.
What a fantastic video. Thank you. I live in Beccles!
Another great Video Sarah
Great video. Can't wait for part 2
looking Amazing in HD sarah. :)
I went to Lowestoft on an Eastern Counties Bristol VR in 1998 from Great Yarmouth! 👍🙂
great video showing places I have not seen in such a long time
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.
I was also on duty in the signal box the day you filmed this 😊
You missed out on the local history museum at Saxmundham.
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!
Nice hat

Tell you your future ? Tell you who to place a bet on at the ten-past-three at Chepstow ?
Ditto my comments elsewhere.
