Weybourne station, seen from a Class 101 DMU arriving with the ex-13.00 North Norfolk Railway service from Sheringham to Holt, on 25th June 2019. The line here opened in 1887 but this station was not opened until 1st July 1901. It closed on 6th April 1964 when the BR passenger service to Melton Constable was cut back to Sheringham. BR's contractors began lifting the track with indecent haste but the MGNJR Association was able to save Weybourne station from demolition and began to restore it and re-laid track although it was not until 13th July 1975 that it was open to the public with the first section of the heritage line as far as Sheringham. Prior to that date, only MGNJR Association members were able to ride on the line.
