View westward, towards Liverpool Street: ex-GE main line to Norwich via Cambridge. This curious Summer Saturdays express was bound for Caister-on-Sea, near Great Yarmouth on the former Midland & Great Northern line. It ran via Cambridge, Ely and the Trowse Loop at Norwich, not making any stop until Wroxham, reaching Caister by reversing at North Walsham - presumably. [Am I right?] Here it is headed by Class B17/6 'Footballer' 4-6-0 No. 61657 'Doncaster Rovers' (built as a B17/4 in 5/36, rebuilt 10/50, withdrawn 6/60).
