"One" class 153306 at Dereham station in September 2006
The class 153s were built as two car units of class 155 by British Leyland in 1987 and 1988. They were later converted around 1991 and 1992 into single car units at Kilmarnock at Hunslet-Barclay.
This 153 was one of the Anglia Railways seven 153s. This class 153 never got repainted in "Anglia Railways" colours, and kept the blue and grey colours of Regional Railways and had to wait for "One" colours

Yaxham station Waiting room in 2006.
Yaxham station is not owned by the Mid-Norfork Railway. What a nice job as been made of this platform, all that is needed is some track and trains
The Mid-Norfolk was a mainly diesel line in 2006. But put in water cranes and water tanks, so steam can use the line. Each summer the Mid-Norfolk hirerers in a steam locomotive and has a steam Gala.

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.
