Wymondham
A Saturday morning Ely - Norwich service slows for the call at Wymondham on 21st April 1979. Halted on the up main line and preparing to reverse onto the down main (so as to gain access to the Dereham branch) is the Fakenham Flyer special DMU charter. The Flyer was to be the first passenger train to reach Fakenham since 1964. It was also destined to be the very last as Fakenham was closed to all traffic the next year. Wymondham station was then a rather run down unstaffed halt. Today, a visit is rewarded by the Brief Encounter restaurant and railwayana exhibition that occupies the premises.
