Britain's What's On Event Guide
Next train's gone...
Heritage Open Day: Visit County School Station - the only one on the MNR that was built in the distinctive Great Eastern Railway architectural style. Explore the station, discover the history of the Watts Naval School, and see a miniature railway in action. Our event's title Next train's gone is a line from the famous 1937 British comedy film 'Oh, Mr Porter', starring Will Hay. As you explore the station, don't expect to meet the stars of that film - but you can meet the present volunteer Stationmaster, and learn about lives lived on and around the railway. Incidentally, since closure by British Railways in 1964 this delightful station has been used a number of times for filming, notably in the guise of Gare de Nouvion in the BBC series 'Allo 'Allo!
Miniature passenger trains will be operating on the extended Wensum Valley Miniature Railway, adjacent to the station and occupying the westernmost section of the former Bure Valley line from County School to Wroxham.
