Brandon

Collected date	21/10/06

Brandon is on the line between Ely and Norwich, the other side of Thetford Forest from Thetford. When I first visited the station a few years ago the station was in a rather poor condition, with the building crumbling and the surroundings untidy. The station has since been adopted:

The result is that although the station has a long way to go to match up to the standards of Wymondham further along the line, it is now a more pleasant place to wait.
