20 & 27 September Vintage Train days on the North Norfolk Railway
On these special days, our special vintage train of 4- and 6- wheeled carriages dating from Victorian times will run in addition to the YELLOW TIMETABLE, meaning you can see and travel on three contrasting historic trains. Two of our powerful steam locomotives will be in action, one hauling the vintage train and a second pulling a train of restored carriages dating from the 1950s and 60s. A heritage railcar dating from the 1960s will also be running, allowing passengers to enjoy a driver’s eye view and savour panoramic views of the delightful countryside, much of which is designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.
