Maningtree, rather than Ipswich - the current (pre-2015) Gold Card
validity is the same as the (current) Network Railcard validity:

Interesting changes - and interesting question as to whether this is an
indication of a possible expansion of the Network Railcard area (albeit
with the withdrawal of East Coast and Virgin Trains)...

And remember that extending the Network Card area isn't necessarily a
good thing, as there are some easements and discounts which apply only
to journeys with one end *outside* the area.

eg Super-Off-Peak tickets across London and Senior Railcard use, in the
morning peak.
