It is situated between Spooner Row and Norwich, 113 miles 72 chains (183.3 km) from London Liverpool Street via Ely.

The GER amalgamated with several other companies to create the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).

[7] The Wells branch closed to passengers on 6 October 1969,[8] with freight services continuing until 1989; the section of that line between Wymondham and Dereham forms the Mid-Norfolk Railway.

Wymondham is situated between Spooner Row and Norwich, 113 miles 72 chains (183.3 km) down-line from London Liverpool Street via Ely.

The typical service is one train per hour in each direction between Norwich and Cambridge, operated by Greater Anglia.

[9][10] The station is also served by a limited East Midlands Railway service of three trains per day in each direction between Norwich and Liverpool Lime Street via Nottingham.

[9] Until 2010 three items of rolling stock were displayed on a short section of isolated line laid close to the station, originally intended to house a camping coach.

These were Drewry 0-4-0 diesel shunter VF D297 DC 2583 of 1956, disguised as a Class 04 tram locomotive, a British Railways tube wagon,[11] and a SECR 25 ton brake van, formerly used as Stratford crane mess van.

[12] The wagons have since been relocated to Whitwell & Reepham railway station, with the locomotive moving to the Bressingham Steam Museum.

[13] The Mid-Norfolk Railway has proposed extending that line to an adjacent interchange station.
