Employment Opportunity.
More information on this position can be found on our employment page.
Network Rail Station Sheringham.
Between the 31st March and 5th May the national rail line between Cromer and Sheringham will be closed to allow the complete reconstruction of Sheringham station in preparation for the introduction of Greater Anglia’s new fleet of bi-mode trains in the autumn. During this time a dedicated rail replacement bus service will operate between Cromer and Sheringham connecting with all Norwich services at Cromer.
The North Norfolk Railway is unaffected by this closure and our trains will be operating as usual and the line to Cromer will reopen in time for the first Cromer Dining Train of the season which is due to operate on the 8th May. There will be no impact on the Spring Steam Gala that is taking place between the 5th and 7th April as the visiting locomotives are being brought in by road as usual.
Have you got green fingers?
If you are local to Sheringham, have you thought of giving a little time to help tend the gardens at Sheringham Station? The North Norfolk Railway is a popular tourist destination and the beautifully preserved stations are all enhanced by their unique gardens and beautiful tubs and baskets. They are also an important green space attracting a variety of insects and wildlife. All the station gardens are looked after by teams of volunteers. There is plenty to occupy them all year round as well as the added bonus of keeping fit and making new friends. Garden volunteers enjoy the friendly railway atmosphere, teamwork and flexible hours to suit. The railway is in particular need of new volunteers to tend the gardens at Sheringham. If you have some spare time and enjoy gardening or are interested in other volunteer roles then please get in touch we would love to hear from you.
