A mosaic roundel was unveiled today @ Westerfield station. Adopter Sandy Burn came up with the idea. Entitled 'Pollinators,' it features a butterfly/wasp/hoverfly/bumblebee/beetle/moth & is inspired by wildlife seen in the station garden. It's made of old crockery/tiles.

That extra sunlight is already giving the daffodils in the memorial garden on platforms 3/4 a nudge.

Our friends @eastsuffolkone.bsky.social Radio sent this lovely photo of #Beccles station this morning with its lovely running-in board (on the non-operational section of the island platform, hence the snowy surface there). Very nostalgic looking combined with the lattice historical footbridge.

What a great day out for 30 Ukrainian refugees as we hopped on the train at #Ipswich to Visit Felixstowe! Santa & Community Rail Officer Thalia handed out head bobbles and mince pies on board. At #Felixstowe we met the Mayor, enjoyed skating, bouncing wires, bouncy cats, snow disco, dj and more.
