Lowestoft North was a railway station in Lowestoft, England. It closed in 1970.[1]
The station was located just to the east of the A12 opposite the Denes High School; a site which is now occupied by Beeching Drive.
For several years Lowestoft North had a static Camping coach in a siding. It was used as accommodation for holiday makers.
Some of the original route between Lowestoft Central and Lowestoft North, where the tracks ran mostly below street level in an open cutting, has been made into a non vehicular public right-of-way, after having been left unused, overgrown and partially flooded for many years after its closure.
