John Betjeman Goes By Train

John Betjeman Goes By Train: Kings Lynn to Hunstanton 

In 1962, Sir John Betjeman travels along the Kings Lynn - Hunstanton line and stops off at the Royal Wolferton Station.

Wolferton was a railway station on the King's Lynn to Hunstanton line which opened in 1862 to serve the village of Wolferton in Norfolk, England. The station was also well-known as the nearest station to Sandringham House, and royal trains brought the royal family to and from their estate until its closure in 1969. After spending some time as a museum, the station is now preserved in private hands. The signal box and part of the station are listed buildings, Grade II.
