Steam trains will return to the Mid-Norfolk Railway on Sunday 7th May and the following Coronation Bank Holiday Monday.
The trains, hauled by the British Railways Standard 4 Tank engine, will be a step back in time to the early 1960s with the maroon liveried coaches that would have been a common sight on the region’s railways then. Trains will depart from Dereham station and make a 12 mile round trip through the Norfolk countryside to Thuxton and back.
The newly reopened station buffet will be serving a new menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, including a selection of cakes and savouries made on site, together with a range of hot and cold drinks including fresh barista style coffee. This includes a sit down service in the station tea room.
On the Sunday to celebrate the Coronation, the railway will also be running a Coronation Afternoon Tea train departing at 3.30pm. Tickets are available from the website and passengers will be served their afternoon teas and food at the tables of the open coaches, one of which will the newly repainted Mk 1 Tourist Second Open E 4702. This is a coach that has returned to the region where it originally was used as part of the Liverpool, Norwich service in the 1960s and 70s.
Charlie Robinson, the Chairman of the Mid-Norfolk Railway said: “We would like to invite everyone to come to the railway enjoy a step back in time and celebrate this historic time by enjoying what the railway has to offer”.
The station has extensive free car parking and the popular 'Kids Go Free' promotion with a paying adult will run for standard operating days this year.

An automated text notification from what looked like a local delivery company gave me a tracking link that was completely compromised. Tapping it did not open a map or a package status page, but rather forced my smartphone browser to load couple sex cam. I blocked the sender number straight away to prevent any further malicious spam texts from hitting my phone.
I like how a body reshaping photo editor free tool can subtly improve photos without making them look unnatural. The edits feel smooth and realistic, which is important for everyday use.
처음에는 쉬워 보였는데 코어볼을 하다 보니 점점 집중력이 중요해지더라고요. 짧은 시간에 몰입하기 좋은 게임입니다.
I recommend UK players check the platform's https://iran-embassy.org.uk/ mobile compatibility in advance. Try accessing the website on your smartphone and assess its usability: how the buttons work, how quickly the games load, and whether there are any lags. It's also important that all key features—deposits, withdrawals, and settings—are easily accessible. If the mobile interface is difficult, it can quickly ruin the experience. Therefore, it's best to test everything beforehand and choose the most convenient option.🙃
