Hardingham signal box
Hardingham signal box on Friday the 19th June 2015
Hardingham railway station is not normaly open to the public and was open just for this one weekend during the Mid-Norfolk Railway's 2015 Steam Gala. Only those on the train could get of at Hardingham station. When every was were I am standing, there was a run pass by the train.
The renovation of this signal box at Hardingham station which was from Snettisham, won the FirstGroup Craft Skills Award in 2015. The bottom part of this box has had to be completely rebuilt. Top marks to ever one who helped in this renovation.

The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust
It was only around 1995 that The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust started to restore this line between Dereham and Wymondham. It now has 17.5 miles of track (11.5 miles is in use) which when its is all in use, will be one of longer preserved railways in the UK. A lot of the other preserved railways had already had a twenty year start when they started.
