As a family we travelled by train from Nottingham to Caistor Holiday camp in 1957 and 1958 for our annual weeks holiday and from which we used the timetabled trains into Yarmouth vauxhall Station. The journey from Nottingham being a tortuous 4. 1/2 hours running for many miles as single track. However, the camp facilities were worth it as there was plenty to do throughout the day and at night. Plenty of good memories.

Must have been a fair few changes on that journey, was it more direct than going via the M&GN line to reach Yarmouth Beach?

Yes. My mistake as it was via the M&GN . Also, we were hauled each time by 2 x L M S 0-6-0s each time. Thanks for correcting me.

@samtaylor858 a journey I would love to travel back in time and take. The view of the sea on the run into Weybourne from Holt on the NNR, is the closest I get to the experience.

That`s a bit like the Ipswich to Felixstowe line .Trains would arrive at Felixstowe Town, then forward to Beach station.. It`s a pity they closed beach station as the name implies ,you only had too walk a few yards to the beach ..........

Better sense of company branding I guess, the street the station was adjacent to, was formerly known as Cemetery Road!

No problem, glad you liked them! I have a real like for the M&GNR, its closure really coincided with a loss of a way in life that came during the 1960s, especially with the railways closures.

Such a shame, so many of Norfolk and Suffolk branch lines gone. A shame they don't use the Sizewell line to take materials in for new power station

West Runton near Sheringham was used for the caravan sites i think...

It's my understanding that West Runton although opened with very basic facilities was a permanent station opened with the rest of the Melton Constable to Cromer line in 1887. Caister Camp Halt was the second station built near to the village, and as a halt was request only.

Very much a train journey I wish I could have taken, must have been so quaint as the train wound it's way by the sea for four miles to Great Yarmouth.
