DESPITE local opposition, the 10¼in gauge Wells Harbour Railway, Norfolk (RM July p79) has closed, the last train running on September 19. Infrastructure removal followed soon after.
Land owners, the Holkham Estate, issued a statement on October 5 saying “the current operators have sold the trains and equipment, which will go to a new location in the UK. The lease for the railway will come to an end a year early.”
