Shame it's not still a thing. I heard they want to turn the old Birkfield Drive station into a hipster wine bar. There might be some objection from the Kingfisher which is already serving that market.

That site is a wind-up with photos of things which have some similarities with Underground stations in London. Somebody on a rail forum described it as an April fool.
And going back to the tube map, just imagine the engineering for tunnels under the Gipping.

This passage from the article shows it is a wind-up.
"The revival of the Ipswich Underground was to occur in a quite remarkable manner. In 1933, the newly-elected Ipswich Borough Council consisted largely of Communist sympathisers, and even a few party members. One of its first acts was to send a message of support to Joseph Stalin and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Stalin was so pleased with this kick in the face for Baldwin's government that he set about funding the expansion and completion of the Ipswich underground. A number of fabulous stations were constructed, among them Gainsborough, Margaret Catchpole and Fore Hamlet, to the designs of the major Soviet architect Vladimir Mayakovsky."

Steady on, there won’t be any mysteries for anyone else to solve at this rate!

NO. WAY.
Highlighting crass stupidity since sometime around 2010

I'm sorry but you're totally wrong. I travelled on it many times in my youth on the Chantry line to Copdock.

In alternate universe were the supposed underground network didn't close (and if it actually existed), would it still be busy? Would the bus network be put out to shame? Would there be one at Portman Road?
And would Ipswich be the smallest settlement to have an underground metro network?

I would think that aswell, Ipswich is really not large enough to have a tube network and the supposed time it was running the town would've been even smaller
