The station at Berney Arms has the air of a remote halt in a western movie where a solitary figure, vengeful or avenging, alights and the train disappears into the distance down a single track. East, not west, just four miles from the sea at Great Yarmouth and two miles from any road, it’s one of the remotest stations in England. No prairie either, instead the windswept Halvergate marshes and the floating song of curlew, skylark and oystercatcher.
