Fakenham East
The end for Fakenham East station in October 1980. Since passenger services ceased in 1964 Fakenham had been the terminus of a freight spur from Dereham, latterly Wymondham. In the early 1980s, the line was truncated in stages back to North Elmham, starting with the closure of the Fakenham service two months earlier. That frequently used description for quick-off-the-mark railway demolition - indecent haste - seems quite appropriate here. The Mid Norfolk Railway aims to rebuild the line to Fakenham, but this site has now been completely built over.
