History

The railway line between Halesworth and Haddiscoe was opened by the East Suffolk Railway (ESR) on 4 December 1854, and the station at Brampton was opened on the same day. 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. The GER's successor, the London and North Eastern Railway, added the county suffix "(Suffolk)" on 1 June 1928. The station featured in "No Trace of Tracy", the fourth episode of the first series of Jonathan Creek.
