Haddiscoe railway station (formerly Haddiscoe Low Level) is a railway station in the English county of Norfolk on the Wherry Lines operated by Abellio Greater Anglia. It is named after the village of Haddiscoe, some distant, although the village of St. Olaves on the other side of the River Waveney is closer. The station is remote, positioned as it is at the end of minor road off the main road, though it features a car park. ==History== An earlier Haddiscoe station was opened by the Norfolk Railway in 1847 but was later closed by the Great Eastern Railway in 1904. It was replaced by this station, originally named Haddiscoe Low Level, at the junction of the Wherry Line and the now closed Yarmouth-Beccles Line from London to Yarmouth. An existing station on the Yarmouth-Beccles Line at this junction was renamed from Herringfleet Junction to Haddiscoe High Level at the same time.〔 Both the High Level station and the Low Level station operated until the British Transport Commission withdrew services on the Yarmouth line in 1959 and closed the associated High Level station. British Railways subsequently renamed the remaining station Haddiscoe.〔 A link between the two lines existed, controlled by Haddiscoe Junction signal box. The box was preserved at the Science Museum, Kensington, where it was adapted to display various kinds of signalling equipment.〔''Railway World'' December 1967, p. 543〕 After a brief period it was moved to the Mangapps Railway Museum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haddiscoe railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
