Metro-Cammell Class 101 DMU at Sheringham, waiting to depart with the 13.00 North Norfolk Railway service to Holt, on 25th June 2019. This station was opened by the Eastern & Midlands Railway (that later became part of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway) on 16th June 1887 and the heritage line runs for five and a quarter miles along a section of the MGNJR as far as Holt (but not quite as far as the original station which was demolished to make way for the town by-pass). The bulk of the ex-MGNJR closed on 28th February 1959 but Sheringham to Melton Constable stayed open until 6th April 1964 when the service from Norwich and Cromer was cut back to Sheringham. In January 1967, Sheringham station was closed to BR trains and replaced by a single platform halt on the opposite side of the level crossing; the ex-MGNJR station was then leased to the MGNJR Society to eventually become the main station for the North Norfolk Railway.
