The former station house at Geldeston The building is a private residence and has an extension on the west end, but retains the Italianate style of the Waveney Valley Railway buildings. The former Goods Shed can be seen in the background which has been given a pent roof extension on its east end. The station was 16½ miles from Tivetshall 2½ miles from Beccles. The platform was 110 yards long. A 200 yard long siding fed into the goods shed which contained a 1 ton crane for unloading and loading. The signal box stood to the north of the track by the crossing gates and a crossing keepers hut on the south side of the single track. The station was closed to all traffic in 1915 as a war economy measure but reopened in 1919. Passenger services were withdrawn in July 1954 but freight services continued until July 1964.

The former Goods Shed at Geldeston station A pent roof extension has been added to this end of the building. A railway line once ran through the building which had a large sliding door each end. Inside the goods were stored on a wooden deck at the same height as the floor of the wagons and a 1 ton crane facilitated unloading and loading the heavier items. A wire netting cage protected the sacks of grain and other perishable goods from vermin.

River Waveney The River Waveney forms the boundary between Suffolk and Norfolk. It rises at Redgrave Fen and flows in an easterly direction though the towns of Diss, Bungay (the head of navigation) and Beccles. There is a weir at Billingford, shortly after the River Dove, flowing northwards from Eye, joins the Waveney on the southern bank. The Waveney passes round Bungay and on to Beccles. Having skirted past Oulton Broad it passes through Somerleyton and Hadiscoe before merging with the Yare in Breydon Water.
