 | | The Dereham line closed to passengers in 1969, the campaign to reopen it started five years later and on Saturday 23 December 1995 a passenger service started over one and a half miles of track. |
 | | The 12-mile line was used for freight traffic until 1988, and between 1978 and 1988, RDS and its associated local groups, the Wymondham, Dereham and Fakenham Rail Action Committee and the Fakenham and Dereham Railway Society, ran 20 charter trains, carrying over 5000 passengers. |
 | | In January 1995, Breckland Council decided to buy the track and lease it to the society; and on 14 December the full council granted £75,000 to the Preservation Trust, and loaned it £50,000 for purchase. |
