Trains
editThe Bittern Line does use Class 170 trains from time to time, especially in the evenings. They're certainly more common than the Class 153 trains which are rarely used. CarFan1234 (talk) 20:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Reason for not closing
editDoes anyone (eg: Redrose64) know why the line didn't close in the 1960s? I checked the Hansard archives, expecting a report from November 1969 by Fred Mulley as hinted by the existing source, explaining why the line was kept open. There's a related report here that explains why closure of the Marshlink line stalled (and subsequently never happened), but nothing involving Norwich - Cromer - Sheringham. I know that at the time, North Norfolk was a Labour / Tory marginal and nobody would have advocated closure for a genuine fear of losing their seat, but I don't have a source for that.
