HADDISCOE - On January 30th, 2022, rail passengers were led to safety after flooded tracks stranded their train amid rising river levels. Six people on the 0725 Greater Anglia service composed of Class 755 331 between Norwich and Lowestoft were assisted when water undercut the railway on Sunday. The Class 755/3 was not derailed and no one was hurt. A very high tide and strong winds caused ballast to be washed away at Haddiscoe. Removing the stricken train was the first priority, Network Rail said, saying disruption could last for a few days. Operator Greater Anglia has apologised for service disruption, and said flood water was "making the railway unsafe" between Reedham and Haddiscoe.
