An extra train will run from Ipswich after the Blues next clash to help more fans get home by rail.

Greater Anglia is putting on the late-night service following Ipswich Town’s home game against Nottingham Forest this Friday (October 23), in response to increased demand from supporters.

Connor Lake, special events delivery manager at Greater Anglia, said: "We have worked with Ipswich Town Football Club and the East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership to identify and respond to customer demand, and this additional service is a direct result of that partnership working.

"We always want to support large local events where possible and make it easy for people to travel by train so they can leave the car at home."

The extra train will depart Ipswich at 10.45pm for Lowestoft, calling at Woodbridge, Melton, Wickham Market, Saxmundham, Darsham, Halesworth, Brampton, Beccles, Oulton Broad South, and Lowestoft.

Passengers are advised to purchase tickets in advance via the Greater Anglia app or website.
