Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road | |
The station building dates from 1847. Today it is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains that call, but the station is unstaffed.
The tracks from Lowestoft split into the two separate lines to Norwich and Ipswich just before Oulton Broad North. Trains to Ipswich pass Oulton Broad North closely, but there has never been a platform for them to call there. The Ipswich trains call at Oulton Broad South, which is about three-quarters of a mile by road to the south.
