Sheringham East Signal Box Fire

Sheringham East signal box was damaged by fire this morning after a car parked behind the Signal Box caught fire.

Very fortunately, no one was hurt in the incident and the signal box was evacuated. There has been some damage to the rear of the signal box and the fencing. It is understood the fire began with an electrical fault in a parked car, which caught and spread.

The M&GN Joint Railway Society would like to express thanks to those who rang the emergency services promptly and to the Norfolk Fire Service and Norfolk Constabulary for their actions in dealing with the incident.
