Drayton railway station is a former station in Norfolk, England. Constructed by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway in the 1880s, on the line between Melton Constable and Norwich, it was closed to passengers in 1959. It served the settlement of Drayton now on the outskirts of Norwich. The site is now home to an industrial site. Many of the buildings follow the old footings of the platform and other buildings. Several of the railway bridges in this area have been filled in or removed. The footings for the bridge entering Drayton from Norwich is now a house.[1] Its former site is now on Marriott's Way.[2]
