This is a work in progress, so scenery is a little thin on the (ahem!) ground at the moment.

Saxham Market is a fictitious English market town somewhere near the Suffolk coast. The railway came to the town in 1859, when the East Suffolk Railway opened its station and inaugurated through services to London and Great Yarmouth. A five mile branch line ran to the nearby town of Lessington, and the following year this branch was extendend a further four miles to reach the coast at Oldborough.

In 1862, the East Suffolk and several other companies amalgamated to form the Great Eastern Railway, which operated the station for the next sixty years. Following Grouping in 1923, the station was operated by the London and North Eastern Railway, and by Britiah Railways after the railways were nationalised in 1948.
