Whitlingham was a station in Whitlingham, Norfolk.[1] The simple station has been demolished leaving no trace of its existence. However the footbridge is still in use for pedestrian use.

Just east (away from Norwich and not in the photo) of the footbridge is the junction where services to Sheringham split from services to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.

In addition to the frequently passing class 156s and less frequent 170s and 153s passing Whitlingham, there is a daily (once each way) oil tanker that passes through, usually hauled by a class 66.

In the summer months, there are a few services from London to Great Yarmouth that pass through, hauled by a class 47 locomotive.
