Which Trowse?

There was a Trowse passenger station just north of the junction of the two lines, but also Trowse Goods on the line from Ipswich - ISTR the original terminus of the line from Ipswich.

(whatever W....dia thinks, neither was west of Hethersett!)

Looking at old maps, it appears that Trowse, possibly called Trowse Millgate, was immediately north of the junction between the Diss and Wymondhan routes. It was adjacent to Bracondale.

Are you thinking of Norwich Victoria - that was the original terminus of the Ipswich line, closing to passengers in 1916 and goods 70 years later?

Trowse was the temporary terminus of the Brandon line (which pre-dated the Ipswich line), pending construction of the swing-bridge over the Wensum to reach Thorpe.

What looks like the station building is still there, or at least was in May 2024 on Streetview, just north of the Bracondale bridge and opposite the approach road to the Tarmac works. It does look a bit tatty, but it was (according to Quick) last used during the electrification in summer 1986.

 

[Magdalia]

The two routes into Norwich from London converged at Trowse Lower Junction. The station was between Trowse Lower Junction and the swingbridge.

It does look a bit tatty, but it was (according to Quick) last used during the electrification in summer 1986.

Here is a picture. It was easter 1986, almost exactly 40 years ago.

2-Car 105 DMU at Trowse station. 31/03/86.

Over the Easter weekend of 1986 (28th-31st March) Norwich station was closed for track remodelling and electrification work this saw the unusual re-opening of Trowse station as an interchange and bus transfer point for passengers destined for Norwich. The station at Trowse was an early closure...

Norwich Victoria was only accessible from the Ipswich line, at Trowse Upper Junction.
