Middleton Towers railway station

[4] After a large housing development was completed in Leziate in 1990, the line between Middleton Towers and King's Lynn was considered for restoration as a passenger route.

With the electrification of the main line between Cambridge and King's Lynn the provision of rolling stock was a major issue.

A sand loading silo has been constructed on the former main line to Swaffham east of the station.

The eventual aim to convert the platform buildings into a community venture, likely a tea room and heritage railway museum recognising the history of the line.
