LocationThe station is less than 100 yards away from the A148
and about 1400 yards from the town centre. At High Kelling take the old Cromer
Road to Holt - there is a brown tourist information road sign at the junction. Access
on foot to the town is level, along pavements. A detailed map
is available.
There is a large car park at the station, as well as a smaller
one, holding about 30 cars, 200 yards from the platform entrance.
Eastern
Counties buses 4, X4 and 44 pass the door. There is a stop immediately outside
the station. This is typically an hourly service.
The 'Holt Flyer', a London
routemaster bus, meets most steam trains during the holiday
season and conveys passengers to the town centre (at an additional
charge). Tickets for the routemaster bus can be purchased
at Holt station ticket office, or as a through ticket from
Sheringham station. This service is not
operated by the NNR.

There is a small shop selling souvenirs, coffee and confectionery
just opposite the station building. The main building itself
has been relocated from Stalham, an original M&GN station.
This building contains the booking hall and ticket office.
There are also toilets, including a disabled toilet.
There is a model railway, 'Broad Sidlinch', which was featured
in the June 1999 issue of Railway Modelling. The layout, which
covers 300 square feet, can be found open during the peak
season, subject to the availability of volunteers.
In the station yard is the replica M&GN goods shed from
Thursford. This houses the 'William
Marriot Museum', which opened in August 2006. The museum
has now closed for the winter and work to extend and enhance
the museum will take place before re-opening in 2007.

HoltHolt is an attractive
award winning Georgian town with plenty of interesting shops and an excellent
departmental store, 'Larners
of Holt', which has been in the town since 1797.
Future Plans
There are plans for an extension of
the railway to a site in the Holt town centre but this will be dependent on public
funding.
The signal box at the end of the platform is a re-claimed
Midland Railway 'box. It is nearing completion and is due
to open during 2008. The improved signalling system will allow
use of the original platform once again. This means Holt station
will be able to accomodate more than one train at a time,
providing more flexibility in the timetables, particularly
for galas.
We plan to install a number of sidings alongside the museum
goods shed, allowing some of our heritage carriages to be
displayed in the bay platform.
The current gravelled track to the platform entrance has
been levelled and widened. It will be surfaced on completion
of the building work and hard standing will, in due course,
be provided for parking.
A water tower has been built and is just awaiting plumbing
in and the new water crane being built on the platform before
it can be brought into use.
Any assistance, financial, cerebral or manual to achieve
the above would be very welcome. Please contact Sheringham
office on 01263 820800, or a member of the Holt station staff
for further information on how you can help.
