Caister Camp Halt railway station

Caister Camp Halt was a railway station on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway which served the holiday camps near the Norfolk coastal town of Caister-on-Sea, England.

In 1933 the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway introduced a small railcar “Tantivy” to enhance the summer service on the line between Yarmouth and Stalham.

This allowed the introduction of seven new halts, which saved people walking a mile or more to the nearest station.

The new halts were for Newton, Caister Holiday Camp, California, Scratby, Little Ormesby, Potter Heigham Bridge and Sutton Staithe.

Each of these was a request stop[1] The station was closed as a wartime measure before passing briefly to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 only to be closed by the British Railways in 1959.
