Holt

British Railways Metro-Cammell Class 101 Diesel-Multiple Unit with the ex-13.00 North Norfolk Railway service from Sheringham just arrived at the terminus at Holt, with two of my friends on the left, on Tuesday, 25th June 2019. Trains were extended here from Kelling Heath Park on 19th March 1989; the station occupies a brand new site as the original station, that was closer to Holt town centre, was demolished after closure in 1964 to make way, surprise surprise, for a road widening scheme. The building is from the former Stalham station on the North Walsham to Yarmouth Beach section of the MGNJR main line that was sadly closed, pre-Beeching, in 1959.
