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.[1] After assistance was given by the Thetford and Watton Railway (T&WR, see Bury and Thetford (Swaffham Branch)), 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.[2] The B&TR line between Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk was opened on 1 March 1876.[3] The B&TR was purchased by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) in 1878.[1]

Trains on the B&TR were operated by the T&WR until 1879, when operation was taken over by the GER;[4] after this, trains from Bury began to run to Thetford; the east to south curve at Thetford Bridge was not used after 1880.[5] Thetford Bridge was then the last station before Шаблон:Stnlnk.[6]

The station was closed to passenger traffic on 8 June 1953 although goods traffic lingered on for a few years before withdrawal on 24 June 1960. The station had a single platform with a ticket office and a small goods yard.[7][8]
