History
Wymondham Abbey railway station, opened in 1999, is the current southern terminus of passenger services on the MNR, although the line continues beyond Wymondham Abbey to a junction with the Breckland Line at Wymondham railway station. The two stations are about a mile apart and passengers wishing to interchange with local services operated by East Midlands Trains and Greater Anglia on the Breckland Line need to make their own way between the two stations by walking about 1.3km through the town centre. Volunteers conducted some refurbishment of the station by replacing boards forming the platform surface during January 2013. There is minimal car parking at this station, therefore visitors are advised to use parking facilities in Wymondham town centre or make use of the car park at Dereham.

sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
