Felixstowe
By the 1970s, there was a major mismatch between the size of Felixstowe (formerly Felixstowe Town) station and the remaining passenger traffic on offer. This view of the station was taken on 4th September 1977 and shows how the facilities dwarfed the regular 2 car DMU that worked the service to Ipswich. In the 1980s, the station was effectively cut in half, so that trains could terminate short of the main building and allow it to be converted into a shopping centre. The island platform on the right and the goods shed were demolished completely.
