images of Lenwade and the Fakenham Branch.

On a dull July 2nd 1970, Brush Type 2 No. 5621 (later 31197 then 31423) surrenders the token (which can be seen mid-flight, on its way to the ground) to the well-dressed signal man at Lenwade as it arrives with 8K10 from Wensum. This was a journey of approximately 30 miles (8 miles to Wroxham then a further 22 miles via Coltishall, Aylsham and Reepham) and was timetabled for just over two hours. Although the passenger service at Lenwade was withdrawn on closure of the entire Midland and Great Northern system on 28th February 1959, the signal box and station infrastructure as a whole were still in good condition at this time.
