History
The railway line between Halesworth and Haddiscoe was opened by the East Suffolk Railway (ESR) on 4 December 1854,[1] and a station at Brampton was opened the same day.[2] The ESR was absorbed by the Eastern Counties Railway in 1859, which in turn was amalgamated with other railways to form the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1862.[3] The GER's successor, the London and North Eastern Railway, renamed the station Brampton (Suffolk) on 1 June 1928.[2]
