    The trackbed of the southern chord of the triangle at Dereham, where the King's Lynn line diverged to the west, has been removed as part of the preparation for the redevelopment of the former depot site.

    Until this week passengers on trans leaving Dereham on the Mid-Norfolk Railway could clearly see the formation of the "Royal Road" - so-called because it is believed that it was intended that the Royal Train could use this route to avoid reversing at Dereham en-route to Wolferton, curving away from them. The entire area, covering the trackbed, allotment gardens and shed site, has been cleared to allow the construction of a new leisure centre.
