*RCH EE 1917. This map gives the mistaken impression that the Beccles line was served by a separate 'on-branch' platform at Tivetshall. It was in fact served from the east face of an island platform with a north and a south end connection to the main line, which meant that the branch platform also served as a second platform for the Up main line. Hence the (Jct.) designation, though it could be argued it should be an (excl.). Let's not split hairs!
