firbeck 859 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's currently the 50th anniversary of the closure of the former M&GN railway. If you're not sure what significance that had to Nottingham, well it was basically a holiday line that branched off the Nottingham/ Melton/ Corby line just east of Melton at Saxby Junction, that ran across to Norfolk and served the coastal holiday resorts, particularly Great Yarmouth, I remember well going to Yarmouth for my holidays in the mid 50's and Yarmouth Beach Station being stuffed full of holiday trains from the East Midlands. I'm sure that many Nottingham folk used this service to go on holiday in the heyday of the railways. One of the few bits of the line still in operation is run by the North Norfolk Railway from Sheringham to Holt and this weekend and the next, they are running a special service, packed with trains run by different, guest steam locos. If you Google NNR and go on their website, you'll see what they are up to, but you may be impressed by the live web cams that are on offer from each station, check them out, it really is like a scene from the 50's that changes every few minutes.
