context_page_description: Kimberley Park railway station is a railway station in the village of Kimberley in the English county of Norfolk.
context_section_description: The Wymondham-Dereham branch line was built by the Norfolk Railway and the line and stations were opened on 15 February 1847. .
  The station was rebuilt by the Great Eastern Railway and provided with a second platform when the line was doubled in the early 1880s.  A new up platform was constructed, and the existing buildings were given new glass-fronted passenger accommodation and platform canopies.  In 1882 the station was considered a request stop.
  Until 1923 the station was known as 'Kimberley', but this was changed to 'Kimberley Park' during the Grouping to avoid confusion with Kimberley station in Nottinghamshire.  The main buildings were on the down platform, with a smaller waiting room being provided on the up.
  The goods yard was situated on the down side of the line, comprising a single siding linked by trailing connections to the up and down main lines.  Kimberley was provided with loading docks and a cattle pen.
