[edit] History
Thetford station was once also the terminus for a branch to Swaffham. The next station along the line was Roudham Junction. The line was closed in 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe. Another branch ran south to Bury St Edmunds calling at the town's other station Thetford Bridge. This closed to passengers in 1953.[1]

Generally, there are two trains per hour eastbound to Norwich, while westbound there is an hourly service to Cambridge (Greater Anglia) and an hourly service to Liverpool via Peterborough and Nottingham (East Midlands Trains).
