Felixstowe freight.
Does any freight travel to Felixstowe from the north ? If so do they have to change the engine round at Ipswich ?
It looks like (from my map) there is only direct access to the Felixstowe branch for trains approaching from Colchester direction.

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.

Yes sorry Pre65 I wasnt thinking straight (all this snow chaos) The southern terminal is inside Trinity Terminal and the northern terminal is at Languard end. I think there used to be a rail connection right along the middle of the dock but they disconnected it now.
