A community rail shop and tourist information office has been given a fresh look to better serve thousands of visitors.
Located at Lowestoft railway station, the upgraded facility has marked its sixth year in operation with a new look featuring an expanded and improved space that offers more room for printed guides and new displays.

The site is managed by the Lowestoft Central Project in partnership with the Wherry Lines Community Rail Partnership and handles about 10,000 tourist enquiries each year.
Jacqui Dale, who manages the facility, said: "We are pleased to have been able to reconfigure the shop, creating more dedicated space for tourist information and for displays of souvenirs, books and branded merchandise.
"Proceeds from the shop go towards a number of initiatives including the station floral displays and forthcoming plans to create more toilet facilities and costs associated with our aspiration to reinstate the concourse roof."
The shop stocks guides, souvenirs, drinks and snacks, and is managed by a small team of volunteers as it opens Monday to Saturday from 10.30am to 4pm.
Winter opening hours are 10.30am to 3pm.
Donations of railway and local history books are welcomed to support the shop.
