The East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership: Ipswich to Lowestoft and Ipswich to Felixstowe.
@eastsuffolklines.co.ukToday we and the Travel Training Team took 13 pupils from Felixstowe School & Sixth Form by train from Trimley to Ipswich. They learned about tickets/how to read the route map/rail safety. The scheme is designed to help students gain confidence to travel independently.

@eastsuffolklines.co.ukMore of an October feel to the weather in some parts of East Suffolk today, so here's a scene snapped on a somewhat sunnier September day at Derby Road station. The platform flower tubs always look fantastic thanks to the station adopter volunteers.

@eastsuffolklines.co.ukIt was a fantastic platform performance yesterday @ Felixstowe station. The Level Two Youth Project kicked off Felixstowe Heritage Open Days Weekend telling the story of the Dunkirk evacuation through dance, poetry and spoken word, based on Winston Churchill's speech 'We Shall Fight on the Beaches'.
@eastsuffolklines.co.ukIn late 2020 volunteers seeded an area @ Derby Road station to create a wildflower meadow. Annually, after the flowers die back, it's strimmed; the seeds then drop. Today volunteers raked the meadow & put the stalks into on-site compost bins. A frog, firebug & ladybirds were observed in the meadow.
