Saxmundham Video

A train journey on the now closed railway line from Saxmundham to Aldeburgh. At 45 seconds you can make out the house in the clouds and windmill at Thorpeness before the trains comes into "Thorpe Halt" station for Thorpeness.Part of the line is now a walk. The Station at Aldeburgh was next to the Railway Tavern on the roundabout into Albeburgh. It was built using the white Aldeburgh brick. On its demolition some of these bricks were reused on extending existing buildings in Aldeburgh(to meet conservation area requirements). The song is "Slow train" by Flanders and Swann, a lament to the closure of the railways under Dr Beeching. Interesting observation. Not a single car parked in Park Lane! The car is a Morris Oxford Traveller en.wikipedia.org It should also be noted that the daughter of Newson Garrett a weathly local business( & himself grandson of Richard Garrett of Leiston) after much resistance became the first female doctor in the UK. Dr Elizabeth Garrett Anderson founded the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital in London, and the new wing at Ipswich Hospital is named after her. She also become the first female mayor in the UK

A truly hellfire day spent chasing various Class 37's around east anglia. Seen are DRS 37's on Rail head treatment trains and Nuclear Flask trains at a variety of locations. The locomotives in their 50th year of operation and seemingly still going strong with Direct Rail services (DRS). The workings include lots of thrash from the drivers... 1. 37510 + 37667 on 3W88 at Diss 2. 37510 + 37667 on 3W90 at Brundall 3. 37667 + 37510 on 3W93 at Saxmundham 4. 37059 + 37194 on 6M69 at Westerfield 5. 37059 + 37194 on 6M69 at Ipswich
