West Runton railway station is on the Bittern Line in Norfolk, England, serving the village of West Runton. It is 28 miles 55 chains (46.2 km) down the line from Norwich and is situated between Cromer and Sheringham, the northern terminus. Train services are operated by Greater Anglia.

It is one of two remaining Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway stations still in use on the National Rail network (Cromer being the other). Sheringham and Weybourne are the other two surviving M&GNJR stations, both still served today on the heritage North Norfolk Railway.

Like other stations on the Norwich - Sheringham line, West Runton is cared for by volunteers known as station adopters.

## Services[edit]

All services at West Runton are operated by Greater Anglia using Class 755 BMUs.

The typical Monday-Saturday service is one train per hour in each direction between Sheringham and Norwich via Cromer. On Sundays, the service is reduced to one train every two hours in each direction.[1]
