Yarmouth Beach

A panorama of Yarmouth Beach station as it stood on 30th October 1977. The station was unusual in having undergone a direct rail to road traffic conversion after the last trains ran in 1959. As shown in the photo, bus and coach stances were installed at track level along the length of the platforms with platform access steps so waiting passengers could be sheltered and use the retained station offices and facilities. By modern standards, the unprotected platform edge would be unacceptable in a non-railway context. Demolition of the station took place in the mid 1980s.
