Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway (NSJR) was a British joint railway company. The company was grouped into the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923.
The NSJR was owned by the Great Eastern Railway and the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway and consisted of two distinct sections: a line between North Walsham and Cromer via Mundesley, and a coastal route running from Gorleston to Lowestoft. Neither has survived apart from a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) stretch just south of Cromer which forms part of today’s Bittern Line.
The route of the section from Gorleston-on-Sea northwards to the junction for the line to London is now used by the A12.
