The old Buxton Railway Station

The platforms were removed and the former station building has been converted to a private residence. Trains of the Bure Valley Railway stop at a platform just west from here.

The narrow-gauge Bure Valley Railway now runs on the trackbed of the East Norfolk Railway (ENR), which was opened in 1877 with the first section connecting Norwich and Cromer, and an extension from Wroxham to Aylsham in 1880. The line was taken over by the Great Eastern Railway in 1882 and amalgamated into the London & North Eastern Railway in 1923. Passenger service stopped in 1952 but freight service continued until the 1970s. Coal traffic was carried from Norwich Thorpe via Aylsham to Norwich City and concrete building components were carried from Lenwade. This traffic ended in 1981 and the line through Aylsham formally closed on 6 January 1982.
