If Felixstowe traffic is to avoid London, wouldn't it reverse at
Ipswich? Avoiding this by adding a curve to the existing junction

*very* tight curve on the available land; any more and you have to
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.


There are some interesting documents in the Planning Drawings section
