    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this video, we know the route so well being keen geocachers and walker in the East Anglia region. We have been all along the route at one time or another.
    We live at Dereham and have lived near Narborough where there is a lost platform hidden in the woods near the north junction joining the A47.
    Fantastic video...

    Thank you so much for this one! I moved to Norfolk with my parents when I was 12 years old and lived just the hill from Middleton Towers station. My regret is that I never rode the line to Dereham before closure. My brother now lives in Dereham and I live in Kent close to the Hawhurst branch so I’m looking forward to that one. We both enjoy exploring lost lines so, from both of us, thank you.

    This is golden. I’m leading the effort to restore Middleton Towers so this is nostalgic even for someone like me who wasn’t around when the line was!

    I became obsessed with old railway lines in the 70s.
    We never had holidays abroad back then (who did)? We had a motor caravan, and our holidays were spent in the UK.
    My dad had so many maps. During the journeys, I used to peruse these maps, and was constantly finding 'disused railway'.
    It became a 'thing' for me.
    Approaching 60, I have walked over 1000 miles of old lines.....I have a way to go still.
    These videos are fantastic! Never stop making these please.

      Thanks! I have my work cut out as there are so many lost lines to choose from! The tricky part is sourcing images of old stations I can use. Then working out how to animate the present into that image.

    Hate to be picky but I believe the photo at 14:42 is facing Middleton, not Lynn

      Ah I wasn't entirely sure with the position of the bridge. It might have been incorrectly labelled when uploaded
