Some pix from our Trains, Trails & Taverns event in #Woodbridge this evening. We visited the Long shed Museum & learned about the ghost that haunted the King's Head pub. We all came by train with the station just a few minutes walk from everything the town has to offer.

Isn't autumn 🍂 🍁 a wonderful time of the year? Lovely colours on display at #Beccles station today, some provided by nature alone, others with a helping hand from the fantastic team of volunteer station adopters.

The waiting room at Saxmundham station has been turned into a community space thanks to a £6.5K grant from Greater Anglia’s Customer & Community Improvement Fund. The project, spearheaded by the East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership, brought together schoolchildren, poets, and artists.

46 humans & 6 dogs took part in our free Guided Walk Saturday from #Trimley station. Lots of new faces & old friends, human & K9, on the 7-mile trek. The weather was fantastic. We had a lovely stop at Suffolk Wildlife Trust Trimley Marshes Nature Reserve visitor centre.

Autumnal scenes on @eastsuffolklines.co.uk around Halesworth Millennium Green and the restored (and disused) short stretch of the old narrow gauge Southwold Railway, which runs parallel to the main railway, just south of Halesworth station. See halesworthtosouthwoldrailway.co.uk for more details.
A grey Greater Anglia train, 755419, passes an oak tree as it enters Halesworth Millennium Green on the 11.16am Ipswich to Lowestoft service. In the foreground is a restored short stretch of the Southwold Railway, passing over a bridge. In the background, framed by trees, a grey Greater Anglia train, 755336, passes over a bridge on the 12.06pm Lowestoft to Ipswich. No trespassing is involved, as this is a public path in Halesworth Millennium Green. The stretch of relayed narrow gauge line, on the old track bed of the former Southwold Railway, covered with leaves.

Grey skies across East Suffolk this morning are brightened up by the lovely platform flower tubs at #WickhamMarket station. It's all thanks to the volunteer adopter team who run the fantastic café & community rooms inside the old station building

Meet the ultimate hedge trimmer. Lineside maintenance is taking place at Bramfield, during the @eastsuffolklines.co.uk nine day closure of the southern section, between Halesworth and Ipswich.

Twenty people joined us on the train today from #Lowestoft to #Halesworth for the Halesworth Scarecrow Festival & Pumpkin Trail! At St Mary's church we all made scarecrow jars, corn dollies, arts, crafts and drawing! Free fruit and drinks were laid on; thank you Pauline!

Vital track renewal/bridge repairs on the East Suffolk Line began Saturday. Many thanks to Network Rail for these terrific photos this morning at #Melton station showing the work being done on the line at the station itself, and at the adjacent A1152 Level Crossing.

Somewhere over Saxmundham.....

A few days ago for these fab photos from Greater Anglia Saxmundham station.

Volunteer adopters Steve and Ginny installed some winter plants that really brightened up a grey day, helped by the wonderful rainbow!
