On Monday 30 May 2011, a train on the line suffered a [[derailment]] at Brampton, during which wheels from one of the coaches were reported to have come up through the floor of the vehicle.<ref>[http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/train_derails_on_bure_valley_railway_1_907256 Train derails on Bure Valley Railway]</ref> The [[Rail Accident Investigation Branch]] were called in to conduct a preliminary examination into the incident,<ref>[http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/update_bure_valley_railway_crash_photo_shows_narrow_escape_1_908565 UPDATE: Bure Valley Railway crash photo shows narrow escape]</ref><ref>[http://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/update_investigators_due_at_scene_of_north_norfolk_rail_crash_1_907490 UPDATE: Investigators due at scene of north Norfolk rail crash]</ref> and found it to have been caused by the failure due to metal fatigue of an axle journal that had been welded several years previously (when the railway was under different management). It found that the BVR did not have an adequate safety management system. Following this accident all wheels of this design were identified by the railway and scrapped, being replaced by new wheelsets,<ref>[http://www.raib.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/bulletins_2011/bulletin_04_2011.cfm Rail Accident Investigation Branch bulletin 04/2011]</ref> and a new computerised passenger carriage maintenance database was introduced, providing detailed tracking of the service regime of whole carriages, and of individual bogies and axles.{{Cn|date=November 2022}}
