On this railway adventure I explore some of the stations between Lowestoft and Ipswich and find out what’s so special about the platforms at Halesworth

Great video.
looking Amazing in HD sarah. 🙂
Excellent video as always 👍
Nice video, some brilliant stations and a few signal boxes as well, always good to see.
Brilliant video Sarah, a station that smells of nail varnish remover? I don't think i've heard that one before lol. It's a shame you haven't found any ghosts of monks, that would of been something to see lol.
You missed out on the local history museum at Saxmundham.
im loving all 3 stations which do look lovely brilliant vlog as always
great video showing places I have not seen in such a long time
Great video. Can't wait for part 2
Another great Video Sarah
I went to Lowestoft on an Eastern Counties Bristol VR in 1998 from Great Yarmouth! 👍🙂
Hi I am Sarah with the Ghosts 😂 but a great video looking at some of the stations on this route
Neat, a young trans person in the rail fan community. What a misunderstanding perceiving preferences / gender presentation need a social transition to be accepted. Because we can't change Sex and there is a religion or cult going around in the "first world" nations of the planet. A pitty we Aspie folk with stereotypical (male) hobbies fall so easy victim to this cult.
Always engaging ☺
14:39 You very seldom see stuff like that, a nice piece of railway history right there
Very good video Sarah. I thought Darsham was the station with the Indian restaurant. But that is of course Oulton Broad South. Darsham is in the book "The Unlikely Spy" by Daniel Silva.
The London trains down the East Suffolk line, well, from the late 40's to the late 60's one of them was actually a named train! It even had a restaurant car, rather than a buffet!
Brilliant video Sarah. Must admit I didn't know about the moving platforms
I think if I saw any ghosts of monks, I'd be running for the first train out
Halesworth, Beccles, Aldeby, Haddiscoe High Level, St Olaves(where I grew up), Belton/Burgh Castle and Yarmouth Southtown. Also via Fleet Junction at Haddiscoe it was possible to go to Norwich on the Wherry Line if need be. I think freight used that mainly. Plus Yarmouth Beach was available via the Breydon Viaduct..
Nice hat
Darsham Level crossing is somewhat of an anomaly, usually the drivers white light setup is used for AOCL/ABCL crossings with Darsham being an AHB it is a mitigation in the up direction only due to trains stopping at the station and the general busyness of the A12. The crossing only activates once the train is in the station in the up (Ipswich bound) direction.
What do Smart Card readers do once they'ce read your Smart Card ?
Tell you your future ? Tell you who to place a bet on at the ten-past-three at Chepstow ?
Nice one Sarah!
Its a good little line. Lowestoft is a decent end-line station and the East Suffolk line is important, allowing access to Ipswich then on to London.
Audio made this unwatchable
