If Felixstowe traffic is to avoid London, wouldn't it reverse at

deal with the industrial park / residential area / supermarket to the
north... No?

You could always build a reversing loop south of Ipswich.

South? why? But I believe Ipswich Yard has recently been expanded to
allow for all the reversing there.
