It gets NO TRAINS on a Monday to Friday, and only a few services on the weekend, I visited Buckenham on a Saturday with a mystery guest, some wildlife, tractors, a little song and dance, oh and it might have been raining too ...

I went there in the late 90s to go for an interview in Buckenham. I didn't get the job. But it was worth it just for the train journey. Then they argued about paying the expenses because they didn't believe anyone would go by train! Great video . Thanks.

Difference between Frogs and Toads: one is an amphibian, and the other is a kind of Brake Van... Seriously, though, Frogs have smooth skin, hop, and enjoy being in water, and their spawn resembles tapioca in appearance, whereas Toads have warty skin, waddle, are not so keen on being in water all the time, and their spawn is in long strings. There you go.

It looks like the walkway.along to the Norwich-bound platform used to have the platform extending along it at one time. I wonder if something similar happened there to at Balcombe, on the Brighton Main Line, when a freight train derailed in 1985, and demolished a length of platform, they decided not to reinstate it. I've been through Buckenham loads of times, on the way to Oulton Broad when my aunt was alive there, but I can't remember ever being on one that stopped at Buckenham, and that's going back to the late 70's!!

Norwich to Lowestoft (and back) is my daily commute, so know that line well. Fun fact, the resignalling that's being done is costing £68 million and is mainly being done to allow modern length freight trains run on the lines again, which they haven't been able to do. Also fun fact, Berney Arms will not get a train for SIX MONTHS due to the resignalling, so I'd imagine it will beat Buckenham next year, although there are daily services to Berney Arms which might make the difference.

It amuses me that you're expected to cross the line to the other platform, not to mention the DIY level crossing on your walk. We station adopters at Whatstandwell asked to work on the disused platform across the line during the recent period when there were no trains for seven weeks or so. You'd think we'd asked to draw white lines on the A6 during the morning rush. There were NO TRAINS, but crossing the line was completely unimaginable. 100 metres down the line, the track to the sewage-treatment works crosses the line - we'd be fine to work there, if anyone wanted us, but not our own platform.

The level crossing in Brundall is amazing. It's a dead end road that leads to numerous boatyards and the road is so narrow they had to make a turning circle at the bottom. I don't know how many yards are still operating but in the mid-80s, when I worked on the Broads, you went in the front door to the office and out the back door to go onto the boat as the buildings touched each other. I was surprised to find the Berney Arms was not the least used, though it has weekend ramblers.

Some still in worn LNER teak finish with "3" on the doors. But despite the slam doors and stops at every local station, we managed to have at least 9 trains per hour in rush periods. Here in California where I live now, we are lucky if the one Amtrak train a day is less than 5 hours late.

I was involved in a project standardising poster placement on Northern stations (visiting 101 in 6 weeks). The onward information posters only count bus services as regular if they are more than hourly. Poor Ulleskelf (served by around 10 trains a day) has a two hourly bus service (served by one in each direction alternating each hour), but this is not reflected on the onwards travel poster - which is located yards from the bus-stop. It did seem a little churlish to claim there were no buses when there were so few trains. We also had the fortune to meet the "Station Adopter" who told us they'd had a spate of irate fare dodgers who had been put out at Ulleskelf by a zealous conductor only to discover they were then stuck for up to 8 hours waiting for the next train.

Just a little tip on fields of Cows and Bulls is that cows have an udder full of teets attached to it for milk while the bull only has one teet attached to it and I wish you the best of luck milking that! Also you only get one bull in a field as bulls don't get on and will always fight to the death.

Always wondered about Buckenham's strange platform with the long path, it has been like that since the 1970s at least. Good suggestion from Ian McClavin. I wondered if it might be to increase the distance to the level crossing in case of an overrun - but it's surely not busy enough. How does the stagger compare with Dilton Marsh?

The toss pots at Greater Anglia now charge to park at Brundall station as well as (nearly) all of the other stations in the region, so now it costs about 50% more to leave the car at Brundall/Acle etc. and get the train in to Norwich. So much for trying to get people out of their cars and out of the city. It's cheaper to park at Rose Lane car park now.

Either you checked immediately beforehand, on your iphone, in which case you are probably a musician, as you pitched (and sang) it accurately; or you overdubbed it afterwards (but it was very well done, if so); or you checked before you left home, in which case you must have perfect pitch; or you were extremely lucky!

@geoffmarshall what is the app or image/PDF you are using in this video and others that show the map with all the stations. The best one I can find is on the national rail’s website and it doesn’t include every station.

Looks like they missed the short-cut at the back of the Brundall station car park that takes you almost right up to the Acle line railway bridge before you turn onto Low Road... although it would have been a bit muddy in that weather!

It doesn't shave too much time off to be fair, but if you are heading to RSPB Strumpshaw after getting an early train in, you want to save as much time as you can to get to the reserve quickly on foot after a relatively long early train trip to get there (especially if you're lugging a lot of heavy birding gear around). I discovered it when I went to Strumpshaw for a day trip the first time, and must admit that I rarely ever then decided to double it up with the walk to RSPB Buckenham as well, due to the minimal return options... and the fact that you are therefore better off going all the way back to Brundall in order to make a fuller day out of your trip because of the better return options. It's rather ironic that I can spend a longer time birding in the Broads on a (2 train) day trip from Cambridge than I can birding in the Fens (on Sundays) at RSPB Lakenheath... even though it only takes me 26 minutes to get there from Cambridge North! But that's Greater Anglia saving on the diesel for you!

You passed through Ipswich and didn't stop by to hello :-( Those loco trains will be going by the end of next year, so make the most of them on the Norwich-London Line.

If you want a shorter walk from station to station try Birchgrove to Ty Glas in the outskirts of Cardiff.

Have you considered fitting a hood to your lens? If it's not too windy, it might keep some drops off the lens...

Question: Is this the station with the longest distance between staggered platforms in the UK? If not, where is? (simple staggered platforms only, i.e. platforms 1 to 24 at London Waterloo doesn't count)

I think Dilton Marsh is much longer, there's a substantial curve separating them.
