Mid-Norfolk Railway (MNR)
The Railway Station, Station Rd, Dereham NR19 1DF
One of the longest preserved railways in Great Britain, running for 11 miles from the market town of Dereham to Wymondham. It follows a significant portion of the former Great Eastern main line and offers a peaceful journey through the heart of the Norfolk countryside.
Railway History
The Great Eastern Branch
The Mid-Norfolk Railway preserves a large section of the former Great Eastern Railway's Wymondham to Wells branch line. After closing in the late 1960s, it was saved by enthusiasts who saw its value as a rural transport corridor. Today, it is famous for its unique collection of first-generation diesel locomotives and its beautifully restored Victorian station at Dereham, preserving the atmosphere of a busy East Anglian regional line.
