West Runton railway station

1

West Runton railway station is a stop on the Bittern Line in Norfolk, England, serving the village of West Runton. It is 28 mi down the line from Norwich and is situated between Cromer and Sheringham, the line's northern terminus. Train services are operated by Greater Anglia.

History

The station opened in September 1887. It is one of two remaining Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway stations still in use on the National Rail network (Cromer being the other). Sheringham and Weybourne are the other two surviving M&GNJR stations; both are still served today on the heritage North Norfolk Railway. Like other stations on the Bittern line, West Runton is cared for by volunteers known as station adopters.

Services

All services at West Runton are operated by Greater Anglia using BMUs. The typical Monday-Saturday service is one train per hour in each direction between Sheringham and Norwich via Cromer. On Sundays, the service is reduced to one train every two hours in each direction.
