Trains to Ipswich - Station Details and further Information on Ipswich Train Services

Ipswich train station is a train station serving the town of Ipswich in Suffolk, England. The station is located on the Great Eastern Main Line 68¾ miles east of London Liverpool Street towards Norwich. Ipswich is also a junction station as two lines to Felixstowe and Lowestoft (the East Suffolk Line) diverge from the main line north of the station. The station is served by National Express East Anglia.

Although the Eastern Union Railway opened to a terminus in Ipswich in 1846, the present through station dates from 1860, and the island platform was added by the Great Eastern Railway in 1883. The main building is thought to be principally the work of Peter Bruff.

The station is also the location of one of the few tunnels in East Anglia, immediately to the south (London side) of the station. This is the only tunnel on the whole Great Eastern Main Line. Also completed in 1846 it was engineered by Peter Bruff and, although only 361 yards long, is thought to be the earliest driven on a sharp continuous curve.

Platform 1 is a bay platform where trains to/from Felixstowe terminate. Trains to Cambridge also run from this platform along with platform 4. Trains to/from Lowestoft/Peterborough that start/finish at Ipswich also sometimes arrive on platform 1, again along with platform 4. Platform 2 is used for through trains to London from Norwich, Lowestoft, Peterborough and trains starting at Ipswich. Platform 3 is used for through trains to Norwich, Lowestoft and Peterborough from London. Platform 4 is used for some services to Cambridge, and some starting services to Lowestoft/Peterborough. Also at peak times, some trains from London to Norwich, Lowestoft and Peterborough stop here instead of platform 3.

Opposite Platform 4 at Ipswich Station is a stabling point used by Freightliner diesel and electric locomotives. Classes 47, 57, 66, 86 and 90 are the most common, although locomotives of other companies have been known to use the point in the past. For railway photographers, Platforms 3 and 4 offer the best views of the stabling point.

Ticket barriers were installed in the station building in May 2009 and the exit gate on Platform 2 closed permanently
