Spectacular sunshine over @greateranglia Derby Road.
A few snaps including the wildflower meadow which is in hibernation mode, but rest assured will be a carpet of colour come Spring. 🌼🌱

Some fog in parts of @EastSuffolk clearing nicely as you can see in these photos from @greateranglia #Ipswich and #Westerfield earlier this morning.

Hope you had a nice weekend!
Many thanks to Helen who snapped this photo yesterday (as the sun briefly appeared!) just south of #Saxmundham and parallel to our Alde Valley (Wickham Market to Saxmundham) station-to-station walking route.
As part of the #TracksandTrails campaign we've highlighted some of the 22 walks from our stations. One of the most fascinating is Lowestoft to Oulton Broad South: Euroscope/Jubilee Bridge/Great Eastern Linear Park/Nicholas Everitt Park. For more search 'East Suffolk Lines Walks.'
Like countryside & coast? We've got the perfect route to explore. Starts @ Saxmundham station & follows the Sailors' Path through open heaths/woodland/marshy meadows to Aldeburgh. There's an option to stop @SnapeMaltings. Easily get back to Sax on FirstBus 64. #Tracksandtrails

A new E-bike hubs network is making onward travel easy between Harwich/Shotley/Felixstowe. Harwich Haven Eezybike Connect was developed by Freeport East, with hubs installed @ rail & ferry locations. The scheme was funded by @greateranglia's Customer & Community Improvement Fund.
A bit wet @greateranglia Westerfield this morning this first week of November. In the station garden you'll find a wonderful and poignant display of colours, from geraniums to Peruvian lily, crocus, allium and more, thanks to the dedicated team of station adopter volunteers.

If you like the outdoors you'll love our station-to-station walk from @greateranglia #Beccles to Oulton Broad South. 9.5 miles that follows part of The Angles Way alongside the scenic River Waveney on the way to fantastic @SWTCarltonMarsh
