A railway station for Long Stratton


Railfuture have produced a report ‘Long Stratton – a new station for South Norfolk’ which sets out the case for a new station on the Great Eastern Mainline near to the growing town of Long Stratton.
At 20 miles, the distance between Norwich and Diss stations is the longest interval between stations in the whole East of England. Long Stratton lies midway between Norwich and Diss, and with 2,000 new homes planned will grow to a population of around 10,000.
We hope that our report will create a lively debate around the benefits a new station can bring, and that before too long a railway station will be considered a necessary addition to the infrastructure of this growing town.
