A diesel multiple unit class 156 stops at Acle station. Acle railway station > Link was built in 1881 as the datestones > Link on station building and station house indicate. The station was opened by the GER (Great Eastern Railway) and in 1923 became part of the London and North Eastern Railway. On nationalisation in 1948 it passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways and was later served by regional railways until the privatisation of British railways.

The station house > Link has been converted into a private dwelling and the station building > Link serves as a self-catering holiday cottage. Acle is the only station on this branch of the Wherry Line which has a passing loop > Link. At some time in the past it was a coaling depot which was located just west of the former goods shed > Link which still stands.
