    Just found your very interesting video, now looking for more of yours, Just to mention that my brother Sid Coleman is a retired Caister Volunteer Lifeboat man, and when the Caister Volunteers formed over 50 years ago, he along with the others were part of this group. There are not many of the older members left now, my brother is 88 years old. On Lifeboat day a few weeks ago, we both went down, and he found a couple of the old boys to chat to, he had a wonderful afternoon.

    Small error at Raynham Park it was the end of the single line from Grimston road and the line became double track all the way to Corpusty and Saxthorpe on the line to Great Yarmouth line, Not a passing loop as stated! Hope this is helpful, Thanks.

    Hi , at the 12.25 minute mark there was on the lhs the 1958 connection a link was built giving access to the GER line from the M&GN , this connection was a sad waste of money as the M&GN closed as a thru route 28/2/59 ,although probably used alot by demolition trains, makes me wonder whether that was the intention all along, it makes sense the more i think about it, because cromer high station was used as storage for reclaimed items when the M&GN was being destroyed.

    Thank you so much for making your videos, i really do enjoy watching them. Having visited Pensthorpe nature reserve today, i just need to let you know that the section of line you filmed there was the GER Dereham to Wells line. The M&GN line ran slightly to the North in the reserve, and has been largely wiped off the map. The only surviving M&GN feature i could find was culvert 92, which is close to the cafe and shop. I had to use google maps to keep track of where the M&GN line ran.

      @stephenmayor9715 5 місяців тому

      Ha yes i had to pay £14.95 to get in. Lovely place, but not cheap. The M&GN line in the middle of the reserve is now ponds, re-landscaped paths and rampant vegetation. Looking at the maps, only the Western and Eastern edges of the line in the reserve are still in place, but these sections are off limits. The GER line has a protection order on it, so maybe one day it will be used again.

    Just like Harrogate in the 1980’s losing its shunting yard to a supermarket development , removing all railway infrastructure other than the bare essential lines into a station. Perhaps some sidings are ripe for development but all loop lines should be held in railway ownership because plans change and there could come a time when they decide need to re use.
