I have no wish to contradict your post but that is not how i believe it to be.

Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean ?

EDIT. having thought about what you posted, do you mean two lines into the docks area ? The "new" line which branches off just after Trimley is not shown on my (1984) Ordnance survey map.

It was your comment about "Colchester side" that threw me, as you have to go through Ipswich to get there. (on a train at least !)

I hope to go freight spotting there before too long.
