The halt at Spooner Row is situated on the Norwich/Ely/Peterborough railway line. The railway was built in 1845 and is one stop down from Wymondham's historic railway station.
The Signal Box was built in the 1880's and is a Great Eastern Railway (GER) type 2. It still retains a semaphore signalling system and the gates are operated manually.
The original station building was built in 1844 and was demolished after a fire in 1977. There were also sidings at the station which were removed in the late 1960's.
Occasionally, the Flying Scotsman and other steam engines can be seen passing through!
