The post-war boom experienced by the King 's Lynn to Hunstanton line was not felt on the West Norfolk Junction Railway whose inconveniently sited stations contributed to declining passenger traffic . Passenger services from Wells-next-the-Sea to Heacham were eventually withdrawn from 2 June 1952 , but the line remained open to freight . However , following the North Sea flood of 1953 , the track between Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham was so severely damaged that British Railways considered it not worth repairing and the line was closed completely between these two places
