1. Mid Norfolk Railway

The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust was established in 1995 with the aim of buying and restoring the then disused line between the Norfolk market towns of Dereham and Wymondham. MNR currently own 28km (17.5 miles) of track and trackbed through central Norfolk's most attractive countryside, making us one of the largest preserved railways in the UK today.

The line is operational between Dereham and Wymondham, and MNR own the disused northern section from Dereham as far as County School. The line is intact (although derelict) as far as North Elmham, and a further mile of track will need to be re-laid in order to reach County School. The long-term aim is to reach as far as Fakenham.
