The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust was established in 1995 with the aim of buying and restoring the then-disused line between the Norfolk market towns of Dereham and Wymondham. The society currently own 28km (17.5 miles) of track and trackbed through central Norfolk's most attractive countryside.
The line is operational between Dereham and Wymondham, and some restoration work is carried out on the disused northern section from Dereham as far as County School. The line is intact (although derelict) as far as North Elmham, and a further mile of track will need to be re-laid in order to reach County School. Our long-term aim is to reach as far as Fakenham.
| Directions by Road | From Norwich and the Broads As you come towards Dereham, there are two turnings to get into the town. Take the second of these, where you can see Tesco on your left. At the bottom of the slip road, take the third exit off the roundabout, which is signposted towards the town centre. Go over the level crossing and carry straight on over two sets of traffic lights. When you reach the mini-roundabout next to the petrol station, turn right into Station Road. Go down the road for 300 metres, and we are on the right, opposite the supermarket. From Swaffham Just as the dual carriageway starts, there is a slip road, which you want to take. Turn right at the bottom, and then left at the traffic lights. Just before the petrol station is the right-hand turning into Station Road. We are on the right after 300 metres. Parking Ample free parking is available on the station forecourt. There is also limited parking in the town centre |
