Wolverton in North Norfolk is an unusual station as there is no longer a railway line, nor has there been since the 1960s. The station used to be for the Royal family and the Sandringham estate. In recent years it has been a private house lived in by a railway enthusiast who has gradually restored it to what it would have been like when first built.

It is a very pleasant station, and all the more so because we visited on a warm sunny day.

The station is open in the afternoons, but on the day we visited the person responsible for allowing access was on holiday. Fortunately, I phoned the day before and discovered that the gardener would be around in the morning to let us in. We were able to attract his attention whilst spraying weeds and he was very helpful in pointing out the key things to see. The gate was then open for the rest of the morning.

The mini museum mostly displaying some of the collection of railway memorabilia collected by the owner.

If you look carefully at the area in front of the van and cars you can see some rails, all that is left visible of the original station track.

We were told the only inauthentic feature is that we expect to see white crossing gates from later times, but originally such gates would have been unpainted or grey.
