East Suffolk Lines

Hope you had a terrific weekend! Some pics from this morning @greateranglia #Ipswich, #Saxmundham, #Brampton and Oulton Broad South. Aren't the flowers at Brampton lovely? It's thanks to station adopter volunteers Kim and Glynn, the longest serving adopters on the line!

Every day, thousands of journeys take place across East Anglia. This #WorldPublicTransportDay, it’s a moment to recognise how rail connects people to work, education and opportunity. Public transport only works when it works as a system. 🔗 greateranglia.co.uk/about-us/news-…

There are new wayfinding signs @greateranglia Saxmundham thanks to a grant from GA’s Customer/Community Improvement Fund. We received £5K to install signs about the town/additional parking/onward public transport/public toilets. The area was replanted and includes a new planter.

The next FREE station walk is this Saturday 18/4, 10.10am, Wickham Market station circular. 5.5 miles, about 3.5 hours. Lovely countryside, the picturesque Deben Valley, Pettistree church. Picnic lunch or café/pub stop. No need to book - Dogs welcome!

Even the bees and ladybirds realised how nice it was today across East Suffolk. These photos are from #Westerfield station which has such a fantastic station garden it's even been featured on BBC @GWandShows. It's all thanks to the fantastic team of station adopter volunteers.

We've featured daffodils at several East Suffolk Lines stations, but what about tulips? Aren't these flower tubs at Melton station absolutely stunning? It's the work of obviously green-fingered Community Rail Officer Thalia. @communityrail.bsky.social @suffolksnaps.bsky.social

On Saturday, @HalesworthM inside @greateranglia #Halesworth reopened after a winter refurbishment project. There are new exhibits/doors/windows/signage. The work was done by volunteers. Much of it was made possible by a £10k award from GA's Customer & Community Improvement Fund.
