It may not look, at first glance, as if there has been anything happening at the Mid Norfolk Railway’s Wymondham Abbey Station.

But a group of volunteers has been working hard, not only restoring the newly named ‘Church Lane’ Signal Box, but also clearing the lineside of overgrowth, cleaning and maintaining the platform and ticket office, and tending the gardens which surround the station area.

We anticipate a resumption of train services to Dereham before the end of this year’s running season. Trains are currently in operation midweek and at weekends between Dereham and Thuxton, and there are special events, including the popular ‘Railway at War’ weekend on August 6th and 7th.

Wymondham Abbey Station will be open to visitors on Saturday July 8th from 4-9pm (the same evening as the Jazz Picnic). Please help our work by supporting the ‘Back on Track’ fundraising appeal then, or by visiting our website online (info@mnr.org.uk).
