2 x 2-car class 101 DMU's are seen at Stoke Bridge Level Crossing in Ipswich Docks on April 15, 1989. This was a Branch Line Society railtour called the 'Orwell Docker' and covered several freight only lines in the area. It was repeated twice later in the year. The line beyond the crossing belonged to ABP (Associated British Ports) and served Cliff Quay. It was formed set 77 54351 + 51177 and set 01 54405 + 51207. Adrian Nicholls.
The Branch Line Society "Orwell Docker" railtour used two 2-car class 101s for a jaunt around East Anglia on 15 April 1989. The first freight branch visited was the the lengthy single track line from Chesterton Junction to Fen Drayton. Extensive gravel pits around Fen Drayton owned by ARC Ltd provided enough railbourne freight to warrant retaining this 11 mile stub of the former Great Eastern Railway St.Ives branch. Aggregate traffic from the gravel pits ceased in May 1992 and the line was mothballed with a view to reinstating a passenger service for Cambridge's growing commuter belt but this fell through, Cambridgeshire Country Council opting for a guided bus way on the track bed. The flooded gravel pits are now an RSPB nature reserve for water foul and wild bird and the railway is just history. Set 77 51177+54351 & set 01 54405+51207 sit at the lines physical end with the far unit beside the buffer stops where Holywell Ferry LC used to be. Adrian Nicholls.
The Branch Line Society "Orwell Docker" railtour on 15/4/89, stood at the closed Felixstowe Beach station. The line from Felixstowe Town to Felixstowe Pier with Felixstowe Beach as the only intermediate station on the branch had closed to passengers on 11/9/67 but the line had remained open for freight to the every expanding Languard Container Terminal. The tour arrived here with authority to proceed beyond the BR limit onto FD&RC (Felixstowe Docks & Railway Co.) tracks into Languard (Felixstowe North) container terminal but a mix up on the day meant the tour stood here for 25mins while the organiser and BR staff made representation to FD&RC staff on site. With 47 279 shunting the terminal the site staff refused access having been not made aware by their manager the tour was coming. So after a stand off the tour reversed here to a wave of disappointment from the membership. Adrian Nicholls.
