History

Opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1883, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway following the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948.

When sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways until the privatisation of British Rail.

Today, the station is managed by Greater Anglia, which operates all passenger services between Norwich and Great Yarmouth with Class 755 Stadler FLIRT electro-diesel multiple units.

Until 2019, trains were formed by diesel multiple units of Classes 153, 156 or 170. During the summer months, some locomotive-hauled trains, top-and-tailed with a Class 37 at either end, would work certain services on the Wherry Lines.

The station has the only passing loop on the Acle branch of the line. A coaling depot was once located here.
