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.

It is very poignant to pause by the Tommy Memorial on Driffield station and know you are standing in the same place as the soldiers on the photos did as they waited to go off to war, some never to return.
We have placed a wreath there in memory of them all.
Lest we forget.
