Barnham railway station is a former station in Barnham, Suffolk on a now closed line between Thetford and Bury St Edmunds. It was located close to the Norfolk border.[1]

History

The railway line between Bury St Edmunds and Thetford was proposed by the Bury St Edmunds and Thetford Railway (B&TR) and authorised on 5 July 1865; but the company had problems in raising the necessary money.[2] After assistance was given by the Thetford and Watton Railway (T&WR), the plan was modified, and instead of running to the main station at Шаблон:Stnlnk, a curve was built so that T&WR trains from Шаблон:Stnlnk could run directly to the Bury St Edmunds line without reversing at Thetford.[3] The B&TR line between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk was opened on 1 March 1876.[4] The B&TR was purchased by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1878.[2]

Trains on the B&TR were operated by the T&WR until 1879, when operation was taken over by the GER;[5] after this, trains from Bury began to run to Thetford; the east to south curve at Thetford Bridge was not used after 1880.[6] Thetford Bridge was then the last station before Шаблон:Stnlnk.[7]
