Sheringham railway station is the northern terminus of the Bittern Line in Norfolk, England, serving the town of Sheringham. It is 30 miles 23 chains (48.7 km) down the line from Norwich (including the reversal at Cromer). Its three-letter station code is SHM.
It was opened by British Rail on 2 January 1967 replacing the original station in Sheringham opened by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway, which is located across the road, enabling the closure of the level crossing there. The original station later became the terminus of the North Norfolk Railway heritage line.
The station is situated on the southern edge of the town centre, but within walking distance of the beach. It is currently managed by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving it.
As of December 2016[update], the typical off-peak service at Sheringham is one train per hour to Norwich.
Between 2007 and 2010, work was undertaken to reinstate the original level crossing across the road to allow trains from Norwich to run onto the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) heritage line tracks. The BBC reported in December 2007 that Network Rail supported the plans to allow occasional crossing of the tracks for trains onto the heritage route. It was announced by the North Norfolk Railway in December 2008 that work was going to start on the new level crossing in January 2009. These plans were later delayed until 2010 due to various problems, including lack of funding, electricity cables needing to be moved, and the county's highways department having concerns with the implications of road closures.
