History

For several years Oulton Broad South had a static Camping coach in a siding. It was used as accommodation for holiday makers. Originally the station was named Carlton Coville, however it was renamed in later years to Oulton Broad South. The Station was part of a modernisation plan that took place at the east suffolk line in 1984. By 1986, The line was equipped with automated level crossings and Radio Signalling, However, to ensure the lines survival of the beeching axe, two sections were also singled. This was done to minimise maintenance costs, as well as to provide a steady passenger service for the east suffolk line. The passenger service is well used, Despite running only one train, every two hours.
