Station Message
Buckenham receives a very limited train service so please check timetables and journey planners before travelling to or from this station. The nearest stations with a more frequent service are Brundall or Cantley.
There is step free access to both platforms, however Platform 2 (for trains towards Norwich) is accessed either via a very long road route, or across a barrow crossing. The surrounding roads and footways are like farm tracks so it is not advisable to use this station if you use a wheelchair or a mobility scooter.
