Notes: Yarmouth's South Town station was originally the terminus of the East Suffolk Railway and had a direct service from London Liverpool Street via Ipswich and Beccles. This line was once the major through route between Great Yarmouth and London, having a regular express passenger service as well as carrying heavy freight traffic. The direct service was curtailed on November 2nd 1959 when the section of line between Yarmouth and Haddiscoe was closed and subsequently some of the trains were diverted via Lowestoft via Gorleston.

The line from South Town to Lowestoft was run by the Norfolk & Suffolk Joint Railway Committee, a shared operation with the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway. It served the stations of Gorleston North, Gorleston-on-Sea, Gorleston Links Halt, Hopton, Corton, Lowestoft North and terminated at Lowestoft Central. When the London trains were re-routed to Yarmouth Vauxhall in 1962 the line was downgraded and subsequently closed completely to goods on July 3rd 1967 (except for Lowestoft North which shut on 6th November 1967) and to passengers on May 4th 1970.

Although the town is today known as Great Yarmouth the railways have rarely included 'Great' in the name until recently.
