Brampton railway station is on the East Suffolk Line in the east of England, serving the villages of Brampton, Redisham and surrounding hamlets in Suffolk. It is 104 miles 49 chains (168.4 km) down-line from London Liverpool Street via Ipswich, and is situated between Halesworth and Beccles. It is commonly suffixed as Brampton (Suffolk) in order to distinguish it from the station of the same name in Cumbria.
Brampton is a request stop, and the line typically sees one train per hour in each direction between Ipswich and Lowestoft. It is managed by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also operates all the trains.
The railway line between Halesworth and Haddiscoe was opened by the East Suffolk Railway (ESR) on 4 December 1854, and the station at Brampton was opened on the same day.
The ESR was absorbed by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1859, which in turn was amalgamated with other railways to form the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1862. The GER's successor, the London and North Eastern Railway, added the county suffix "Brampton (Suffolk)" on 1 June 1928.
As of December 2016[update] the typical Monday-Saturday off-peak service at Brampton is as follows:
On Sundays frequency reduces to one train every two hours in each direction. One weekday early-morning train is extended through to Harwich International and there is a return from there in the evening.
