Whitwell Station, Norfolk
A 'drivers eye' view of the approach to Whitwell Station, on the old M & GNJR Railway from Norwich. Closed to passengers in March 1959, and now part of the Marriotts Way cycle path (NCN 1), Whitwell station was re-opened on 29th February 2009 by the Whitwell & Reepham Railway - a charitable trust. Their plans are to turn the site into a working museum and already great strides have been made with track laid in the goods yard and head-shunt. A small steam engine (Annie) has been purchased from Chatham Dock-yard, and is used to give rides on the 1st Sunday of each month. Volunteers are needed to help restore the buildings to their former glory.
