Beccles (BCC)

Beccles station, Station Road, Beccles, Suffolk, NR34 9QJ

Please note that with immediate effect, Beccles will not be served by the main Rail Replacement bus when rail replacement is in operation. It will be served by a smaller shuttle bus service, which is the largest vehicle that can safely turn in the station car park, and this will operate between Halesworth, Beccles, Oulton Broad South, and Lowestoft. Customers travelling to/from Beccles who are travelling to/from stations between Halesworth and Ipswich will need to transfer from the shuttle bus service to the main Rail Replacement coach service at Halesworth. The smaller shuttle bus services pick up and drop off in the station car park at Beccles, just outside the station.

Please note that although this station is classified step-free, the ramped overbridge between the platforms is quite steep. As the station is not staffed, wheelchair users may wish to consider bringing a companion along to assist them either getting to or from Platform 1 (for trains arriving from Lowestoft, or towards Halesworth, Saxmundham, and Ipswich).
