About Whitwell & Reepham station M&GN

This is all about Norfolks newest heritage site.
The Lynn & Fakenham Railway was originally granted permission by an Act of Parliament on 12th August 1880 to build this station. The Lynn & Fakenham Railway then developed into the Eastern & Midlands Railway on 1st January 1883 and then into the Midland & Great Northern Railway on 1st July 1893. The station formed part of the Norwich City to Melton Constable leg of the M&GN which ran for a total of 21.5 miles. This Station first opened on 1st July 1882.
We re-opened the Whitwell & Reepham Station on the 28th February 2009 nearly 50 years after it was closed to passengers on 2nd March 1959 (Freight was ceased on 1st May 1964). Our main intention is to restore the Station to its former glory which includes re-laying of track and sidings, acquiring rolling stock and setup a museum relating to the Station and The Midland & Great Northern Railway.
