Sheringham (North Norfolk)
A close-up view of Metro-Cammell Class 101 DMU waiting to depart for Holt (not St. Ives!) from Sheringham with the 13.00 service on 25th June 2019. These units were a common sight on rural lines in East Anglia from the late 1950s to the early 1990s, even though, apart from the Norwich to Cromer and Sheringham line and Great Yarmouth to Reedham, Norfolk had lost all its branch lines by the end of the 1960s. However, Wymondham to Dereham is now preserved as the Mid-Norfolk Railway with an extension to County School in the offing and hopes of eventually reaching Fakenham while, further north, the one time continuation of this line to Wells-Next-The-Sea is now the miniature Wells & Walsingham Light Railway. Further east, the Wroxham to Aylsham section of a line that once extended to the Wells line at County School and which closed to passengers in 1952, long before Beeching, is now the miniature Bure Valley Railway.
