Calling at Melton Constable (00:00) Corpusty (03:55), Bluestone (05:50), Aylsham North (08:50), Felmingham (11:35), North Walsham (13:21), Honing (16:00) , Stalham (19:11), Catfield (20:55), Potter Heigham (23:00), Martham (25:18), Hemsby (27:42), Great Ormesby (29:21), Caister-On-Sea (31:44), and Yarmouth Beach (33:48)! Took me a just over a year to follow the track section by section.

That was quite an undertaking - very well done!

Fantastic to see how the route is still visible on modern maps, and to see a picture of my house as the train passed through Caister. Thank you for your excellent work.

I walked / cycled a lot of this route during the pandemic. A shame a lot of the station buildings no longer exist 🚂

growing up in GY in the 70s, derelict train stations were our playgrounds😊

Thanks for this fantastic work. Are you planning to do the Saxmundham to Aldeburgh?

[@DUNFERMLINEBOY1]

Oh the short sightedness of closing all these lines where the population is much more now than it was then

[@Lahfan]

far more interesting than most of the c*** on TV

[@neilcollin4269]

Such a shame it's all gone now.

Amazing

One thing that really stands out on this is how accurate the 1883 map is to the actual.

[@dongilham1892]

Thank you James :)

[@robertmiller965]

Brilliant, today the Honing stretch is a lovely walk.

[@richardfrancis3325]

absolutely brilliant

[@ghosttrainlostrailways]

Thanks Richard! I had been looking to put this one together for ages as it passes by my home town!

Hi James, Another good video. I find these smaller lines very interesting, but have you ever considered a larger one ? Can I suggest the Somerset & Dorset line ? I appreciate the work that goes into it, so maybe split into a series of episodes ? Frosty.

[@ghosttrainlostrailways]

I think I started that one and got as far as templecombe? Do you mean the one that left Bath? I may redo it as I have got more historic station photos since then

[@longpod6542]

This is just wonderful

[@railwaychristina3192]

Every one a work of art.

[@JL-rx6hl]

Absolutely brilliant, I can t imagine how long that took to do. Thanks

[@ghosttrainlostrailways]

A lot of walking and cycling! 🚲
