Weybourne railway station


Weybourne railway station is a station in Weybourne, Norfolk on the preserved North Norfolk Railway. It was formerly part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway route between Melton Constable and Cromer. It is part of the proposed Norfolk Orbital Railway route, which could see National Rail trains running from Sheringham to Wymondham.
The station itself is located over a mile from the Norfolk village of Weybourne and is closer to Weybourne Heath. It was not originally intended to be the site of a station, and opened in 1901 at the behest of a local hotel owner.
