Railway line linking the Mid-Norfolk Railway to the main line The old Wymondham to Wells branch line, which fully closed in 1989, now forming a part of the Mid-Norfolk Railway. It must be an aspiration for heritage lines to maintain a link with the national network, but there is usually a cost. A fine balance between the value to the line and the impact on the bottom line.
