Closing the Circle

Achieving the ultimate goal of creating the Norfolk Orbital Railway will involve the individual planning and commision of several plans. Some will involve major land acquisition or extensive engineering works - others are potentially less complicated. All, however will involve considerable effort to bring together all interested parties and arrive at realisable proposals; and it is to this task that the project has dedicated itself.
Where possible the line will follow the original route/s but where this is impossible a deviation will take the line around obstructions that have appeared during the years since closure.
