Well if you visit the UK and Ely, it's a hub, so plenty of train action from three passenger railways and the freight trains - possibly going Northwards or to Felixstowe

Does that asphalt plant still use their rail connection (as far as you know)?

I will make a Google Maps note.

If you do, then Peacocks Fine B&B and Tea Room the place to eat!

Yes, I think so, there are usually goods carriages there, when I passed by...but not seen any trains pull up or depart from there...I've only really visited twice with a drone though.

Looks quite active from above, but that does not tell the whole story.
You probably need to find more local info about times etc.
Or just have luck

I’ll see what I can find out later next month when the weather settles down again, it’s quite a trek, but would make a great photo video…

My sister's roof got damaged. And I noticed a lot of other tiles on the ground.
Luckily our house was ok.
