4 unusual facts about Railway stations in Cromer


Railway stations in Cromer

The station is currently served only by local services operated by 'Greater Anglia' on the Bittern Line from Norwich to Sheringham.

It was on the now disused Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway line between Roughton Road Junction and Overstrand station.

Because the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GNJR) line approached Cromer from the west, following the coastal clifftops, it avoided the steep escarpment which had prevented the earlier line from Norwich running all the way into the town.

Following growth of the town as a commuter town to Norwich, a new station called Roughton Road opened in 1985, near the site of the former Cromer High.
