In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Waveney like this:
WAVENEY VALLEY RAILWAY, a railway in Norfolk and Suffolk; from a junction with the Eastern Union at Tivetshall south-eastward to Harleston, and thence down the course of the Waveney river, to a junction with the East Suffolk at Beccles. It was authorized, in successive sections, in 1851-9; was opened to Bungay in 1860, to Beccles in 1863; is aggregately 51 miles long; and was amalgamated with the Eastern Union, and through that with the Great Eastern.
