===Railway=== The town is served by [[Beccles railway station]] on the [[East Suffolk Line]] between {{rws|Ipswich}} and {{rws|Lowestoft}}. Services run hourly in each direction on weekdays, following the completion of the Beccles rail loop in 2012; the disused island platform was rebuilt and the track relaid to allow trains to pass, the only point north of [[Halesworth]] where this is possible. Services are operated by [[Greater Anglia]].<ref>{{Cite web |work=Greater Anglia |title=Timetables |date=10 December 2023 |access-date=14 May 2024 |url= https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/timetables |quote=}}</ref> The town was formerly the southern terminus of the [[Yarmouth to Beccles Line]], which ran across the River Waveney marshes to [[Great Yarmouth]] and the eastern terminus of the [[Waveney Valley Line]], linking to the [[Great Eastern Main Line]] at [[Tivetshall railway station|Tivetshall]] in Norfolk. Both lines closed, in 1954 and 1966 respectively; the latter as a result of the [[Beeching cuts|Beeching Cuts]].
