In 1952 the passenger service stopped, but the freight service continued until 1977. In 1990, the station buildings – then one of the most complete remaining Great Eastern stations in Norfolk, were obliterated to make way for the Bure Valley Railway whose headquarters now occupy the site.[http://web.ukonline.co.uk/Members/rj.cullen/ Norfolk By Rail.]{{dead link|date=July 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
