Each end of the footbridge at Trimley station has two sets of steps as it not only provided access between the platforms but was open to pedestrians needing to cross the tracks when the level crossing was against them, a purpose it still serves today. The platform on the left is now disused, with the track passing beside this giving container trains access to the western end of the Port of Felixstowe freight loop. The platform on the right is used by the hourly passenger services between Ipswich and Felixstowe in both directions, as well as container trains accessing the eastern end of the Port of Felixstowe freight loop. Beyond the level crossing the railway becomes a single line all the way to Westerfield, although there are plans to double at least part of this route to cater for the increase in container trains.
