Buckenham railway station is a railway station in the English county of Norfolk. The station is located on the Norwich-Lowestoft Wherry Line.
The station is served by National Express East Anglia with services operating between Norwich and Lowestoft. Buckenham was served by one train Monday to Fridays only, but the summer timetable of 2007 shows that there are no trains calling during the week and only four each way on Saturdays and Sundays to cater for the nearby bird watching huts. Buckenham has one of the lowest frequency services provided to any British railway station.
According to Strategic Rail Authority figures, it also is one of the least-used stations in the country, with 13 entries and 16 exits for the year 05/06 (combined usage figure 29, down ten total from the previous year.)
RSPB Buckenham Marshes is located next to the station, with RSPB Strumpshaw Fen a short walk away. Strumpshaw Hall Steam Museum is also located in the area.
