Editing Aylsham (section)

===Railways===
There were many different plans for railways, but eventually two lines served Aylsham, with the town having two railway stations.  [[Aylsham South railway station|Aylsham South]] was on the [[Great Eastern Railway|Great Eastern]] line between [[County School railway station|County School]] (near [[North Elmham]]) and [[Hoveton & Wroxham railway station|Wroxham]]. [[Aylsham North railway station|Aylsham North]] was on the [[M&GNJR]] line from [[Melton Constable railway station|Melton Constable]] to [[Great Yarmouth railway station|Yarmouth]]. Both stations were closed in the 1950s.

[[Aylsham railway station]] is the northern terminus for the ''[[Bure Valley Railway]]'',<ref>[http://www.bvrw.co.uk/  Bure Valley Railway website]</ref> which was built on the site of Aylsham South station in 1990. The railway is a {{Track gauge|15in|lk=on}} [[minimum gauge]] [[heritage railway]] which runs to [[Wroxham railway station|Wroxham]] ({{convert|9|mi|km|1|disp=or}}); it is Norfolk's longest railway of less than [[standard gauge]].

Several [[long distance footpath]]s with a railway theme start or pass through the town:
* [[Bure Valley Path]] runs alongside the railway line from Aylsham to Wroxham;
* [[Marriott's Way]] follows the old trackbed from Aylsham to [[Norwich City railway station|Norwich]], via the [[Themelthorpe|Themelthorpe Curve]];
* [[Weavers' Way]]; starting in Cromer, much of this route follows the trackbed of the former line to [[Yarmouth Beach railway station|Yarmouth]].
