This view was taken in the down (Yarmouth-bound) direction. The Station House, now a bed & breakfast establishment, can be seen in the foreground (at left).

Lingwood station > Link dates back to 1882 > Link. Originally built by the Great Eastern Railway Company, there used to be a grain store adjoining the station which at that time had sidings and a second platform. The building was closed as a railway station in 1965 after which time it used to house dress shop and later a doctor's surgery, before it was left derelict for several years in the early eighties when the current owners bought it from British Rail in 1989. After renovation - but retaining many of the original features - Station Cottage > Link was opened as a bed & breakfast establishment in 1990. The old signal box has been replaced by a modern building > Link but the two nearby level crossings - one on Station Road and the other on Chapel Road - still have the original manually-operated crossing gates adjoined by the crossing house > Link. The station is served by National Express East Anglia, train services to Norwich and to Great Yarmouth are hourly on weekdays and two-hourly in each direction on Sundays.
