The UK's First Portal [Ipswich, Suffolk] (20.02.2026)

This was an impromptu photography session that I did with my Canon camera (sadly I couldn't take my newer camera out due to it already being packed away).

The Portal is a project aimed to connect locations & communities together from across the globe! Check out https://www.portals.org/ to find out more if you are interested about this & where to find one!

Greater Anglia has hosted nine Cub Scouts from Ipswich at its training academy in #Stratford, giving them the chance to use its high-tech train driving simulators. The visit was arranged with the East #Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership and included Cubs from the 9th and 31st #Ipswich Scout Groups.

Driver Trainer Mark Robson introduced the group to train operations before supervising sessions in the full-size simulator cabs, which replicate real routes, weather conditions and hazards across the Greater Anglia network. Each Scout practised basic driving skills in a range of scenarios.

Staff said the visit aimed to inspire interest in the #railway, while Scout leaders described the day as enjoyable and rewarding for the group.

#AUSSIE - straight out of #Ipswich (not just toxic Pauline Hanson) -
200 metre runner/sprinter Gout Gout what a legend mate ! (Beat #PeterNorman Mexico 1968 #Olympics record!)

Snagged from Facebook, someone actually saw a #freight #train at Griffin Wharf #Ipswich (apparently it had arrived from Harwich, and then returned to some yard in Ipswich). Its not clear what it was carrying.

This happened around early evening (any later and a whole bunch of people are likely to moan as this is very near residential houses).

I think this is the only remaining dockside siding in Ipswich, the track got lifted for the others about 10 years ago and they were clearly already out of use when I moved here in 2006.

This now appears every time I look at #crime news on the local #Newsquest sites. It does not appear for other articles.

Both original ad and this reminder got past my adblockers, suggesting they are being served directly from Newsquest servers.

One one level it makes sense targeting folk with an interest in criminology, but it also seems a bit worrying as its also going to attract those with more time on their hands who might be way more paranoid and angry about crime than I am (I've lived in far worse places than #Ipswich over the years!), and looking for a way of turning that into power over others (which a #magistrate obviously has)
