Derby Road railway station is a railway station serving the Rose Hill area of Ipswich in Suffolk. The station is situated on the Ipswich-Felixstowe line. In the eighties there were rail served coal and scrapyards here, but these have now closed. There were also rail served factories to the south-east serving Crane's and Ransome Simms & Jefferies, also now removed.

The station is served by 'one'. All services are operated by diesel multiple units of Classes 153, 156 and occasionally 170.

[edit] History

Trams from Ipswich Cornhill used to arrive at the back of the station (in fact there was a horse tram shed at the side of the still existing Railway Hotel). Services ran to Felixstowe either from Ipswich or from Derby Road at busy times from a platform now covered by fencing belonging to the car sales company.

[edit] Service

There is an hourly service daily to Ipswich westbound and Felixstowe eastbound. Passengers for London Liverpool Street can change trains at Ipswich
