 The Ipswich and Bury Railway was absorbed by the Eastern Union Railway in the same year, but the slump following the Railway Mania meant that money was very difficult to come by, and the EUR delayed making a start on construction.The EUR had to obtain an extension of time in 1851; there was considerable dissatisfaction in Woodbridge with the EUR's delay.In fact none of this line was opened during the independent existence of the Eastern Union Railway.
