Forming part of the East Suffolk Railway, the line was opened in 1859 and closed 100 years later in 1959. The Halesworth, Beccles & Haddiscoe Railway was formed in 1851 to connect the river ports of Halesworth and Beccles. The scheme was promoted by Samuel Morton Peto who saw the opportunity to raise the status of Lowestoft by constructing a line which would give the town more direct access to London than the existing route via Norwich which he had also sponsored. On 20 November 1854, a single track line between Beccles and Woodbridge opened to goods traffic, and then to passengers on 4 December. Worked by the Eastern Counties Railway, the line - now known as the East Suffolk Railway - connected with the Norwich route at Haddiscoe.
