East Suffolk Line 150th Celebrations

The 150th anniversary of the opening of the East Suffolk Line was celebrated very quietly on 1st June 2009. The line today is a shadow of it's former self, once part of the London - Yarmouth Southtown mainline, with a number of branch lines, it's been reduced to a Rural Branchline operated by RETB.

As all the members of the club work this line, we felt it approriate to help with the celebrations by dedicating a hall to the East Suffolk Line, with layouts based on the East Suffolk Line or branches.

Layouts Were:
Oulton Broad North - Waveney Valley MRC
Aldeburgh - Brian Yallop
Woodbridge - Ted Cotton
Southwold - Stewart Green

We also welcomed...

John Broadrib, aurthor of An Illustrated History of the East Suffolk Railway, from the East Suffolk Community Rail Partnership with a collection of photos and details of East Suffolk Line Walks and sights.
