Reepham railway station was a station in Reepham, Norfolk. It was opened in 1881 and closed to passengers in 1952 and finally shut to goods services in 1964. [ [http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/r/reepham/index.shtml Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites:Reepham Station ] ] The tracks through Reepham remained in place until 1985, latterly serving a concrete factory in Lenwade.

The trackbed is currently preserved as part of the Marriott's Way long-distance footpath.

Future Operations

A speculative plan to create a heritage railway between Reepham station and Whitwell station has been proposed by the owner of the latter station, which is being developed as a railway centre. This would include relaying the Themelthorpe Curve, built to link the former Great Eastern Railway and Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway routes - formerly the tightest radius curve on the British Rail network.
