Birds of Prey are now helping to deter pigeons at Greater Anglia #Ipswich station thanks to an innovative scheme.

A hawk and falcon have been patrolling the station as part GA's ongoing commitment to create a better environment for passengers.

We're here in #Nottingham for the annual @communityrail.bsky.social conference. 120 people have turned out from across Britain to share ideas about making the railway network more accessible, station adoption, rejuvenating redundant railway buildings, and boosting tourism by promoting rail travel.

It was terrific meeting folks today at the Edible Felixstowe 'Grow, Cook, Eat Festival' at Great Eastern Square. The best in local food/drink, veg/seed exchange and entertainment. Edible Felixstowe are the volunteer station adopters who built the platform planters and filled them with herbs and veg.

What a lovely afternoon at Greater Anglia #Saxmundham. The volunteer station adopters have just done some planting which will provide fantastic colour through the rest of Autumn into the Winter months

Many thanks to Railscape for cutting the wildflower meadow @ Derby Road station. The seeds were then allowed to drop after which volunteer adopters Tom, Dennis & Rail Officer Thalia collected the branches; they'll be used as compost. A rubbish clear-up capped off the day. @communityrail.bsky.social

A collage of rail pictures taken this year. From top left and then anti-clockwise: a HST on Hayle viaduct; a class 37 on a test train under a dawn sky at Lowestoft; a black five steam engine ona railtour at Bramfield; a class 755 unit beside Railway 200 bunting at Halesworth; two class 66-hauled container trains pass at Syston; and a man descends a footbridge down to the platform at Leeds, with the station roof above, and Azuma train to the left and a class 150 to the right.

A sunshiny and showery day today in #Ipswich is the perfect weather for the memorial garden on platform 3/4. It's taken care of and watered by rail officer Thalia who obviously has green fingers. Bless her, she broke a finger over the weekend so today's rain from Mother Nature is much appreciated!

Yesterday we took part in Planet Positive in Lowestoft, highlighting sustainability/conservation. This is what we do! Promoting rail travel as a much greener option than the car.
Working together, we can all do our part to make our corner of the world a #greeneranglia.

Students from Saxmundham Primary have put their mark on the rail station, colouring birds/dragonflies/ladybirds/flowers/grass which were made into a mural & applied to the waiting room wall. Each pupil's name is next to the artwork. Today was the big unveiling with cakes, the school choir, & music.

As part of Heritage Open Days we spent yesterday with folks from the Suffolk Refugee Centre. From #Ipswich we took the train to Woodbridge for a talk about the yacht club, one of the oldest in the country. Then to the Longshed Museum & Tide Mill. We were joined by the #RSPB to do some bird spotting.

The clickety clack soundtrack of @eastsuffolklines.co.uk is being silenced, bit by bit, as the line is modernised. Here's @greateranglia.bsky.social 755409 thundering through a section of old jointed track at Bramfield, on the 8.05am Lowestoft to Ipswich today. @railway200.bsky.social #railway200

A lovely morning over Greater Anglia #Halesworth with fantastic colour thanks to the volunteer station adopters!

Looks like a brolly might be in order though if you plan to venture out later in the day! ☔🌧️

A bug hotel has been installed at Greater Anglia #Ipswich. It was built using locally sourced/natural/recycled materials & designed to attract bees/bugs, giving them a safe home. This will help pollinate trees/plants. The project was led by GA in partnership w/ Naio Rail. @communityrail.bsky.social

As mentioned, there's a closure of the line 25/10 to 2/11. Buses replace trains Ipswich-Halesworth 25/10 to 2/12.Trains run Halesworth-Lowestoft. To avoid any confusion of the replacement bus at #Darsham: the bus to Lowestoft stops in front of the station; the stop to Ipswich is opposite the station
