Trains to Lingwood - Station Details and further Information on Lingwood Train Services
Lingwood train station is a train station serving the village of Lingwood in the English county of Norfolk. The station is located on the Wherry Line 8 miles east of Norwich towards Great Yarmouth. The station is served by National Express East Anglia, who operate services between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Monday to Saturdays there is hourly service westbound to Norwich and eastbound to Great Yarmouth and Sundays two-hourly in each direction.
The station dates back to 1882, when it was built by the Great Eastern Railway Company to serve the village of Lingwood. At this time there was a thriving grain market in the village, and a grain store was build next to the station, with sidings and a second platform. Much of this still exists to this day although is not publicly accessible. The building was closed as a train station in 1965 during the cuts made by Dr Beeching. After this it was used as a dress shop, and then a doctor's surgery, before being left derelict for several years in the early eighties. It was then bought from British Rail in 1989 by the currently owners, and was completely renovated. Many of the original features were retained, and it was opened as a Bed & Breakfast in 1990, which it remains.
