Key dates | |
1914 | opened |
12 September 1966 | closed |
It was opened in 1914 by the Great Eastern Railway on its 8.5-mile (13.7 km) branch line from Saxmundham, and was closed in 1966 as part of the Beeching Axe.
As of 2016[update] the platform of the former station survives, just north of the B1353 road nearly a mile west of the coast. But it is overgrown with vegetation, and the trackbed is now a footpath.[1]
