Dist:0.3km<br/>A herd of dairy cattle struggle up the bank like wilder beast. Lots of mooing and grunting.

Dist:0.4km<br/>As part of the loop works a signal box is being built next to current gate cabin. The new location (the original site is near the end of platform 2)gives better view of the crossing. The blockwork will form the skeleton then recovered materials from East Winch signal box (on the Dereham to Lynn line) [[[550277]]]

Dist:0.4km<br/>Work on platform restoration and extending is advanced with a completion date of September 2010. The loop will allow trains to pass each other meaning a more frequent service. See [[[1434777]]] for a view in August last year

Dist:0.4km<br/>The short platform hasn't been used for many years but is now being brought up to passenger standards. It is also being extended to accommodate longer trains. The cones are surrounding the white pole which is for a new signal.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The loop is on the nearer side to completion with brickwork for the signal box (based on Shippea Hill [[[346889]]]) looking good. A train is in the up side, being the first since 1965. A semaphore signal has also been installed. For views in August 2009 see [[[1434754]]] and [[[1434769]]]

Dist:0.4km<br/>In June the road was closed and the crossing here doubled, as part of the loop project. Now the track element of the project is complete, now the signalling has to be finished. The loop needs to be commissioned by September as after that any railway projects need money to commission them, now they are free. From before [[[1789521]]] [[[1766702]]]

Dist:0.4km<br/>Part of the work by the volunteer Permanent way team on the Mid Norfolk Railway. The loop which is roughly halfway on the line will allow hourly departures from the terminus stations. Trains will meet on the loop and pass each other. The works require new track, a signal box from East Winch, signals and the restoration and extension of platform two. There is also a small siding being built.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Part of the passing loop project to increase capacity on the 11 mile siding. So instead of departures every 2 hours from Dereham they can be every 1 hour.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Just left of the centre of this image can be seen the road surface of the level crossing adjacent to Thuxton Station. Beyond the level crossing a train travelling towards Wymondham is being held at the signal, waiting for this train to clear the single-line section.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The station is just north of the Mid way point on the 11 miles line. 268004 is on of the first trains to use the second platform (under restoration) since 1965. The loop here is due to open in September 2010.
