From Ipswich, you will need to take the same roundabout but turn left towards Diss, this roundabout is 900 yards after the roundabout for the A143 going to Stanton and Bury St Edmunds.
Once on the A1066 (Victoria Road when in Diss) you will need to travel along that road for around 1 and a half - 2 miles till you come to the railway bridge which is visable because its overhead, turn right onto the road adjacent to the railway line which is opposite Jewsons.
From Thetford you travel along the same road till you come to the same bridge after Morrisons and the Shell petrol station.

The station car park is located at the north end of the station and costs a massive £2.95 (August 2007) for daily parking. Your car will be safe as there is CCTV which looks over all the car park, but it is still best not to leave valuables in your car.

Photographic notes
The light is good all day round if there is sun, but photographers can decide where to stand when you get there, the sun can be low in the mornings and evenings, but if you are on the right side for the sun its good.
In the Afternoon its best to shoot toward Norwich on the north end of Platform 2 as you will have the sun behind you, and on the side of the train.
Station staff are kind and will assist you if you ask.
Diss is good for videographers.
