The heavily-rationalised interior of Lowestoft (Central, as was) station is not a place to fill one with confidence that we are living in the age of the train, but the external façade provides a delightful surprise, as this 17th June 2011 shot demonstrates. Is this the oldest extant station name sign on any British station?

On June 29th 1977, the station name board declared this destination as Lowestoft Central, despite the fact there was no other station in the town that might be confused with it. Up until May 1970, however, there was also Lowestoft North on the line to Yarmouth South Town. Visible in this view are the DMU services to Norwich and Ipswich, a Class 03 shunting locomotive and apparently failed stock from the Lowestoft - London service.

37407 'Blackpool Tower' having a little throb at Lowestoft, on 17th August 2019, before heading back to Norwich. The soundtrack was good; but with faulty AC, the carriages were rather warm.
