The Aldeburgh Branch
The branch ran from Saxmundham to the popular seaside town of Aldburgh via Leiston. The railway closed in the mid 1960s, however due to the construction of Sizewell A nuclear power station a stub was saved, running just beyond Leiston. Today the line is used rarely to take used fuel from Sizewell A which is being decomissioned to Sellafield in Cumbria.

Saxmundham Road crossing
This line, the remnants of the branch to Aldeburgh, now sees only rare goods traffic removing spent fuel from Sizewell nuclear power station: rail traffic is sufficiently infrequent for these manually-operated gates to be adequate.
The cottage beyond the gates may originally have been the crossing-keeper's.

The line has not been used since the last fuel was removed from the A station in August 2014 http://www.magnoxsites.co.uk/site/sizewell-a/ . The line may be used again for the construction of the proposed Sizewell C
