Weybourne railway station is a station in Weybourne, Norfolk on the preserved North Norfolk Railway. It was formerly part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway route between Melton Constable and Cromer. It is part of the proposed Norfolk Orbital Railway route, which could see National Rail trains running from Sheringham to Wymondham.


The station itself is located over a mile from the Norfolk village of Weybourne and is closer to Weybourne Heath. It was not originally intended to be the site of a station, and opened in 1901 (later than most of the line) at the behest of a local hotel owner.

Appearances on television, film and media

From time to time, Weybourne railway station (as well as the NNR itself) is used for filming and on-screen TV appearances, most notably as Walmington-on-Sea railway station in the Dad's Army episode "The Royal Train", as Crimpton-on-Sea railway station in the BBC TV sitcom Hi-De-Hi! as well as the 1985 adaptation of The Moving Finger.
