In the morning, it is best to shoot Felixstowe bound trains when the light is correct. At midday, the sun is side on so not really suitable. From 15:00, Ipswich bound trains can be photographed until around 2 hours before sunset until the shadows on the tree's by the line start to interfere.
For videoing, shooting towards Felixstowe is a really long view and just as good the other way. Plenty of whistle boards in both directions to give you the heads up! Workings heading towards Ipswich will be accelerating up to line speed if they have come from the north dock.
Although the Trimley RTT page shows all workings on the branch you can simply list workings in one direction only by looking at:
Levington Signal Co617 for Felixstowe bound workings
Levington Signal Co622 for workings bound for Ipswich and beyond
