Fakenham East railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fakenham East railway station was a railway station in the market town of Fakenham in the English county of Norfolk.

This station is one of the possible sites protected in local plans in case it is needed to be restored as part of the Mid-Norfolk Railway's eventual plans to return to Fakenham. Any replacement station would be built on the throat of the original site, as sheltered housing has been built on the main station site.

There was also a Fakenham West railway station on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway between King's Lynn and Great Yarmouth which closed in 1959.
