 The HB&HR saw that a southern termination at Woodbridge was insufficient, and it decided to build the line on from Woodbridge to Ipswich itself.The route was initially proposed to run by way of Framlingham, an important local town, but the Duke of Hamilton objected, as it would cross his land, and, he felt, diminish his enjoyment of it.The HB&HR obtained an Act authorising the extension on 3 July 1854 (before its first line was open), and the act authorised the company to change its name to the "East Suffolk Railway".
