Wymondham is a railway station in the town of Wymondham in the English county of Norfolk. The station is served by local services operated by East Midlands Trains and Abellio Greater Anglia on the Breckland Line west of Norwich to Peterborough and Cambridge. Wymondham station is also the junction for the Mid-Norfolk Railway, although currently their passenger trains, running north to East Dereham, operate from the separate Wymondham Abbey station. The two stations are about a mile apart. Wymondham was also a junction for a line via Ashwellthorpe to Forncett. Until April 2009 there was a Telegraph pole route still in operation between here and Brandon. This was removed gradually during the early part of 2009 and was the last section remaining in England and one of the last remaining in the UK. In December 2012, the signal box was closed and the semaphore signalling was replaced by lightweight LED signals controlled from Cambridge signal box. ==Service== Abellio Greater Anglia operate an hourly service eastbound to Norwich (12mins) and westbound to Cambridge (62mins). East Midlands Trains operate 4 daily eastbound services to Norwich and 2 daily westbound services to Ely, Peterborough and Liverpool Lime Street with a daily Cambridge service.
