Awaiting departure of the 11.15 Bure Valley Railway train, pulled by 2~6~2 tender locomotive Blickling Hall from Hoveton~Wroxham station to Alysham.
It's 200 years of the first public rail travel in Britain. Trains transformed the previously much smaller villages of Hoveton and Wroxham. Goods were brought and dispatched ~ and of course the rail network allowed swifter access from all parts of the country to embark on Broadland boating holidays.
Strangely, as the last coal mining operation closed in Cymru last year, coals for the BVR and all other heritage railways now has to be imported from Poland.
