Haddiscoe Railway Station

Haddiscoe railway station is on the Wherry Lines in Norfolk, England, named after the village of Haddiscoe, some 2mi distant, although the village of St Olaves on the other side of the River Waveney is closer. It is 15mi down the line from on the route to and is situated between and. Its three-letter station code is HAD. It is managed by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving the station. Haddiscoe station is remote, positioned as it is at the end of a minor road, though it does have a car park. HistoryAn earlier Haddiscoe station was opened by the Norfolk Railway in 1847 but was later closed by the Great Eastern Railway in 1904. It was replaced by this station, originally named Haddiscoe Low Level, at the junction of the Wherry Line and the now closed Yarmouth-Beccles Line from London to Yarmouth. An existing station on the Yarmouth-Beccles Line at this junction was renamed from Herringfleet Junction to Haddiscoe High Level at the same time. Both the High Level station and the Low Level station operated until the British Transport Commission withdrew services on the Yarmouth line in 1959 and closed the associated High Level station. British Railways subsequently renamed the remaining station Haddiscoe. A link between the two lines existed, controlled by Haddiscoe Junction signal box. The box was preserved at the Science Museum, Kensington, where it was adapted to display various kinds of signalling equipment. After a brief period it was moved to the Mangapps Railway Museum.
