I wish I could've seen this line in person. Sadly, I was born 37 years too late. I'm glad there are videos and documentaries like this that can show at least a little of what it was like
I was always on the beach either at Hunstanton. or Snettisham - Cockling mostly with my brothers in the late 50s early 60s. I even travelled on the Fruit Growers Special from Wisbech to Upwell with my Gran.
Remember going using Snetshham as a very small boy with my grammar, just before it closed, and derelict after it closed, good to see its now a home and cared for.

Hi pan Tommie i remember traveling along the line so sad it's gone one problem is it was to easy to close lines but so hard to reopen
Traveled on the line many times from Lynn to sunny hunny should never have been closed
The sound on my laptop is too quiet to be able to hear it. Shame really as I would have loved to have heard the comentry
Beeching was not responsible, British Rail and the council
Primarily the eastern region of british rail. They deemed The line unethical.
@@dominustaker1651 surely uneconomic?
@@neiloflongbeck5705 that also played a factor in the lines closure.
@@dominustaker1651 just checking as I've never come across an unethical railway line.
Nobody used it.Uneconomical with the increase in cars.
I was disappointed to learn the line did not go tall the way to Hindustan.
WHY THE INFERNAL BACKGROUND MUSIC. TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.
Not my video, switch the sound off simple.
