The North Norfolk Railway offers far more than just a train ride! Grab your tickets, watch the guard wave his green flag, listen for the sound of the diesel horn as you set off on a timeless journey through some of Norfolk’s most stunning coastal scenery and beautiful countryside.

Lovingly-restored heritage diesel trains transport passengers on an 11 mile return journey between the delightful Victorian resort of Sheringham and the smart Georgian town of Holt. Make a day of it with our great value rover tickets that are valid for unlimited travel allowing you to hop on and off all day! We recommend booking in advance and passengers doing so receive a generous discount on their fares.

The heritage railway is fondly known as the ‘Poppy Line’ after the 19th Century poet and theatre critic Clement Scott coined the term “Poppyland” referring to the unspoilt coastal area around Sheringham where poppies grow in abundance.

For those wishing to see steam, we plan to have an engine in steam at Sheringham Station for footplate visits and moving up and down in the confines of the station for photographs.

Timetable

Visit when the GREEN TIMETABLE is in operation and you can see and travel on two contrasting historic trains. One of our powerful diesel locomotives will be in action hauling a train of restored carriages from the 1950s and 60s. A heritage railcar dating from the 1960s will also be running, allowing passengers to enjoy a driver’s-eye view and savour panoramic views of the delightful countryside, much of which is designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.
