Ipswich Five Years Apart

Channel: John K Wells

Description
An interesting comparison between two dates five years apart (1992 and 1997) at the county town of Ipswich in Suffolk. Essentially little seemed to have changed infrastructure wise but most noteable was the type of traction to be seen. Class 86s were still seen operating Liverpool Street to Norwich services using push/pull operation all of which were replaced completely by Class 90s in 2005. Also present was a variety of diesel locomotives seen on the adjacent stabling point in both years which prove interesting by comparison.
