Trowse was a station on the Great Eastern Main Line just south of Norwich. It was opened around the same time as Norwich Thorpe, and was intended to provide a short commute from the outer suburbs of Norwich. It was closed during the Second World War as a cost-cutting measure. It was re-opened for a brief spell in 1986 when Norwich was closed for electrification works and it served as the line's northern terminus. When the main station re-opened, Trowse shut again.[1][2]
It is still largely in place, and could be reactivated should it ever be desired. Its close proximity to Norwich station makes this unlikely at present.
