Oliver Cromwell crossing reinstated level crossing at Sheringham: currently Sheringham lacks real trains due to the protracted re-equipping of the inadequate platform unsuited to anything longer than two cars There is a total lack of signage as to where the replacement coaches, which are quite unsuited to carrying elderly or incapacitated railway passengers, depart from at Sheringham and West Runton: the latter stop is HIGHLY DANGEROUS
