@rackellar Hi. Thank you. Yes I was aware that I missed Wymondham. I had visited there a few times previously, (but had not videoed). I was a bit pressed for time that day knowing that my aim was to get to Lowestoft, and I thought I'd revisit Wymondham another day. (Also I had heard the box was not going to be demolished, just moved back a bit to be used by the MNR). Will visit there, and also get more coverage of Attleborough, soon, hopefully before the semaphores go!

Great video, I am a signalman on the Ely-Norwich line and these boxes will be sorely missed. You missed out Wymondham though :(
