Leiston

Leiston station, on the Aldeburgh branch, closed to passengers in 1966. Freight to Aldeburgh also ceased but the line was retained to serve the Sizewell Loading Point, just beyond Leiston, for nuclear flask traffic. This is Leiston station, looking towards Saxmundham Junction from the level crossing. The branch appears to be unused at the moment but in a good state of repair. Its future depends to a large extent on whether Sizewell 'C' power station is built, in which case construction trains are likely to run as well as future nuclear fuel loads.
