View southward towards the buffer-stops; ex-Midland &amp; Great Northern terminus of the line from Melton Constable and points westand north. The train is the one shown arriving in TG5208&#160;: Derby - Lowestoft express entering Yarmouth Beach Station from Derby. An ancient ex-Great Eastern F4 2-4-2T (No. 67176, displaced from its work on London Suburban services) is struggling out with this main-line stock for Lowestoft over the ex-Norfolk &amp; Suffolk Joint line through Gorleston-on-Sea.
context_page_description: Yarmouth Beach railway station is a former railway station in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. It was opened in 1877 by the Great Yarmouth & Stalham Light Railway. In 1893 it was taken over by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway which had built a large network of track over East Anglia, initially conceived to transport holidaymakers from the Midlands to their destinations on the Norfolk coast. Acquiring Yarmouth Beach station fitted into this grand strategy. The line was also dependent on used by local travellers.
  Use of the line gradually began to decline and by the 1950s competition from the roads diminished passenger numbers. Yarmouth Beach and the line it stood on closed in 1959 along with most of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway network, now in British Railways hands. It was converted into a coach station and finally demolished in 1982/83 and is now a car & coach park.
  It lacked the direct route of its rival at Yarmouth Vauxhall, taking a winding path across Norfolk without serving major towns.
