Diss railway station is on the Great Eastern Main Line in the East of England, serving the town of Diss, Norfolk. It is down-line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between to the south and to the north. It is approximately south of Norwich. Its three-letter station code is DIS. The station is currently operated by Abellio Greater Anglia, which also runs all trains serving the station. ==History== The station at Diss was proposed by the Ipswich & Bury Railway as part of their route to Norwich. Such were the changes in the railway industry that in 1847 the Ipswich & Bury Railway became part of the Eastern Union Railway, which started operating in 1849. This became part of the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) in 1854, which amalgamated with several other companies in 1862 to form the Great Eastern Railway (GER).〔Great Eastern Railway Pages 234 - 239 by Cecil J Allen (Ian Allan 1955) ISBN 07110 0659 8〕 In 1873 there was an incident at Diss when a goods train a and passenger train collided in foggy conditions, injuring four passengers. In 1883 a signal box was opened, possibly replacing an earlier structure. Following the 1921 grouping the GER amalgamated with other railways to form the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and at nationalisation in 1948 this became the Eastern Region of British Railways. In 1985 the line through Diss was electrified by British Rail to the 25kV overhead system and the following year electrically-hauled InterCity services commenced. At the same time the signal box was closed as power-signalling was introduced to the area. In 1994 British railways were privatised and the ownership of the tracks and station passed to Railtrack until 2002, and then to its successor Network Rail. During this period the operation of the station and train services has been franchised to Anglia Railways (1997-2004), then National Express East Anglia (2004-2012) and currently Abellio Greater Anglia (since 2012). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diss railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
