Does anyone know why the decisions made in the Great Yarmouth area were
made? It seems to me that a loop from Ipswich to Lowestoft to Yarmouth
to Norwich should have been kept, and the rest should probably have been
got rid of, but what they've done instead is a dogs dinner, requiring
three trains and two hours to get from Saxmundham to Yarmouth, and why
Yarmouth needs two lines from Norwich I can not figure out.


Do not assume Castle applied logic to her decisions.
