Present Day and Plans
The station forms an important key in the future plans of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, and will serve as the northern terminus of the line while the task of restoring the line to Fakenham is considered.
The signal box, demolished after passenger closure, is currently being rebuilt using components from Halesworth and the trackbed between County School and North Elmham is being restored ready for the restoration of the line.
A longer-term aim is the rebuilding of the demolished island platform building. There is also a plan to construct a railwayman's cottage close to the signal box, using grounded former GER railway carriages. This was a common practice during the interwar years.
At present no trains operate at the station. All the staff are volunteers.

Famous quotes containing the words present, day and/or plans:
“What if this present were the world’s last night?
Mark in my heart, O Soul, where thou dost dwell,
The picture of Christ crucified, and tell
Whether that countenance can thee affright,”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“But each day brings its petty dust
Our soon-choked souls to fill,
And we forget because we must,
And not because we will.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
