Whereas at one time through services from London and, no doubt, any number of lengthy holiday and excursion trains would have arrived at Felixstowe, the service is nowadays limited to short local trains from Ipswich. So there is no longer a need for long platforms. Even so, whoever thought this arrangement was a good idea really deserves everlasting opprobrium. Trains now terminate at the far end of the old platforms, separated from the terminal buildings (now a shopping centre, of sorts) by a car park. Passengers of course have to make their way across without shelter.
