Have Berney Arms passenger numbers reduced since the pub closed?

[JW16]

Since the pub closed last year, I wonder if there has been a noticeable decrease in passengers using the station?

I heard the pub reopened last month but not sure if the rumour is true.

I see there is an attempt to raise funds to re-open, via a crowd funding appeal, this is the link but please note I am not involved and it is not a recommendation either way from me.

Just realised appeal failed, interesting site anyway.

The last information I had was that the adjacent Tea Room was open but not the Pub.

I used the station last month and the pub was closed. No sign of a tea room.

I didn't know there was a tea room, but apparently the owner has found a new person to manage it and it is reopening in stages. It's set up as a person not a page on FB, but here's the link:

The community group still seem to think they are going to buy it, which seems somewhat unlikely if it's open again. There are some details posted about it to their FB page:

Not so sure the availability of the pub will affect the passenger flow much, most of the pub trade came from passing river traffic. Most of the rail passengers are more interested in walking to Reedham or Great Yarmouth from what I understand.

There wasn't exactly a 'noticeable' number of passengers in the first place

The chap doing a guided tour with about 20 oap's on a Sunday morning was always interesting - the gap between train and platform is not great for the less mobile !! Sure control thought I was crazy when explained delay hock:
