Norwich Thorpe to Ipswich Traffic 1959-1965

[Another Geoff]

For the period 1959-1965 does anyone have any photos or details of the Norwich Thorpe – Ipswich stopping service (including the twice daily DMU service), the Norwich to Stowmarket daily pick-up freight, or any other freight movements on the line?

Here's a copy of the Freight WTT for 14th June to 3rd October 1965 which you may find of use.  I don't have the equivalent passenger WTT but you may find something for sale on the internet.  You could also scour second-hand bookshops which is what I do.

 

This will be in two tranches as the size exceeds the 10MB limit on RMWeb.

Much appreciated Chris, thank you.

 

I have been looking at Working Timetables on the usual auction site, but wasn't sure if the information they contained was what I was looking for.  Now we shall see!

The Ipswich Transport Society magazine goes back to the period you are interested in and reported on train movements. 

 

The GER Society website has various WTT for sale. 

 

John Mann's series of photograph booklets will cover the early part of the period of interest. These often come up for sale on the M&GN Society ebay site.

I think that is the case but I'm not 100 per cent sure.  Perhaps there are those more knowledgeable than I who can answer this?
