Fakenham East

Saturday April 21st 1979 was the last time a passenger train reached the former Great Eastern station at Fakenham before final closure of the line in 1980. This view shows visitors disembarking from the Fakenham Flyer which consisted of two Cravens units. At the time, the station premises were in use as a bus depot, but today the location is an estate of sheltered housing. One of the level crossing gates was left in the estate as a memorial.
