Marking the Milestones
Dereham Station, Station Road, Dereham, Norfolk, NR19 1DF
From the station platform watch heritage trains as they arrive/depart, and take the opportunity to climb into the cab of a main-line diesel loco. Also from the platform you can admire the work of our volunteers as you get up close to newly restored rolling stock. In the marquee, discover the origin of railways as we would recognise them and trace the 200 years of subsequent railway history - with an emphasis on the local railway that has served Dereham for over 175 years. Its range of buildings, large and small, will also be featured. And don't forget to visit both the Museum Room and Tearoom, where you will find further exhibits that relate to this railway.

Additional information
Dereham Station parking and entry are free of charge. Refreshments can be purchased in the station's Tea Room. There is also a gift shop and a second-hand book shop on site. We also hope to offer 'Driver for a Fiver', offering visitors the opportunity to drive a diesel shunter a short distance under supervision. Coinciding with the Heritage Open Day at Dereham Station, the MNR is running a second Heritage Open Day at the other end of the line - at Wymondham Abbey Station. If you wish to travel there on the train, please buy your tickets at Dereham Station Ticket Office.
