8572, 09.45 Sheringham-Holt, Weybourne station The first Sheringham to Holt service of the day on the North Norfolk Railway runs wrong line at Weybourne. This is to facilitate the delivery of provisions and supplies to the station for the day. Former LNER B12 number 8572 stands under the road bridge to the west of the station with the 09.45 Sheringham to Holt train.

Weybourne station I absolutely love this station! I adore spending time just sitting on one the benches, hopefully in the warm sun, drinking a cuppa and taking in the atmosphere. It doesn't even matter if there is a train or not such is the ambience of the place! Keywords: Weybourne station Poppy Line North Norfolk Railway
76034 (76084), 10.30 Sheringham-Holt, Weybourne station Even though this Standard Class 4 carries the number 76034 it is actually 76084! It is seen entering Weybourne station as the driver peers out of the window in order to get some forward vision on the adverse curve of the platform. The locomotive is working the 10.30 Sheringham to Holt service on the North Norfolk Railway.

8572, 10.30 Holt-Sheringham & 10.30 Sheringham-Holt, Weybourne station Whilst the 10.30 Sheringham to Holt service waits on the left (platform 2) the 10.30 from Holt waits on the adjacent platform. It is being led by the fine-looking B12 4-6-0 8572 resplendent in its authentic LNER apple green paintwork. I love the contrasting lighting and combination of rich colours in this photograph that goes to remind me why spring is one of my favoured times of the year for railway photography.

8572, 10.30 Holt-Sheringham, Weybourne station I don't usually take going away photographs especially of a train the that I already have one shot of! However, the lighting and subject were perfect here at Weybourne on the North Norfolk Railway that I have submitted this one. It shows LNER B12 8572 getting away from the station with the 10.30 Holt to Sheringham NNR service. I like the inclusion of the somersault signal in this view, it's just a shame that it is partially blocked by the leading GUV M94125.

8572, 11.15 Sheringham-Holt, Weybourne station LNER B12 8572 rests at Weybourne station having just arrived with the 11.15 Sheringham to Holt North Norfolk Railway service on a chilly but bright April morning. The locomotive is partially obscured by the period water crane. I am not sure if this is serviceable or just kept for show?

76034 (76084), 11.15 Holt-Sheringham, Weybourne station With the sun having popped behind an errant cloud 76034 drifts into Weybourne station leading the 11.15 Holt to Sheringham North Norfolk Railway service.

76034 (76084), 12.00 Sheringham-Holt, Sheringham Park TG132426 76084 leads the 12.00 Sheringham to Holt North Norfolk Railway service on the approach to Weybourne. The photograph is taken from the grounds of Sheringham Park during our walk. It appears that I have tipped the photograph slightly but the train is actually climbing at this point with the sea being level in the background. The grade II listed Weybourne windmill is seen to the extreme right of the photograph.

76084 (76084), 15.00 Sheringham-Holt, Sheringham Golf Club On leaving my wife and son in Sheringham I walked back to Kelling to collect the car. Whilst walking along the England Coastal Path on Skelding Hill the 15.00 Sheringham to Holt service passed below me led by Class 4MT 76084. It is surprising to see nobody playing golf in the foreground as the Sheringham Golf Club is popular and usually well patronised. Note the village of Upper Sheringham in the background.

8572, 15.00 Holt-Sheringham, Dead Man's Hill The second photograph of the day at Dead Man's Hill of LNER B12 8572. With the light having deteriorated now with very little blue sky it is seen passing tender first leading the 15.00 Holt to Sheringham service. In the middle distance, a trace of white smoke gives away 76084 leading the 15.00 Sheringham to Holt on the climb of Kelling bank.
