Rail Passengers Warned Of Autumn Disruption

Friday, 28 August 2026 08:35

Rail passengers face weekend disruption between Norwich and Ipswich during September and October as Network Rail carries out improvement work.

Rail passengers are being warned about weekend disruption between Norwich and Ipswich during September and October as Network Rail carries out a programme of improvement work.

Replacement buses will operate on affected Greater Anglia services while engineers work on sections of the main line.

Buses will replace trains between Norwich and Stowmarket on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September, and again on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September.

Further disruption is planned for Sunday 4 October, when buses will replace trains between Stowmarket and Ipswich, as well as on routes from Halesworth and Felixstowe into Ipswich.

Another closure between Norwich and Stowmarket is scheduled for Sunday 11 October.

The work includes replacing around 1.5 kilometres of ageing rail between Stowmarket and Diss and south of Norwich.

Engineers will also improve the level crossing at High Green near Great Moulton and carry out extensive maintenance to points and track around Ipswich station.

Network Rail says the work is designed to improve reliability and reduce future delays.

Greater Anglia is advising passengers travelling on affected weekends to check their journeys in advance and allow extra time where replacement buses are required.
