Unfortunately for the NLL it the Felixstowe container trafic that is,

Not really - Ipswich-Peterborough would do (widening and
electrification, please).


Part of the problem is the number of larger containers that are currently
only passed for the route via the NLL. IIRC Hutchinson Ports have already
offered to contribute towards gauge enhancements on the Ipswich to
Peterborough route, to allow trains to run that way.
