Dereham
A passenger train to Dereham was still a rare event in 1980 and this special, organized by the Fakenham and Dereham Railway Society, was well patronized by local trippers as well as enthusiasts. Notable from today's viewpoint is the complete lack of safety concern, with adults and toddlers alike scrambling freely over track and platforms. Needless to say, no one was harmed during the taking of this photo. The train was headed to Great Ryburgh - the end of the line following the closure of the section beyond to Fakenham a couple of months earlier.
