Berney Arms railway station is a stop on the Wherry Lines in the East of England, serving the settlement of Berney Arms on the Halvergate Marshes in Norfolk. It is located 15 miles 71 chains (25.6 km) east of Norwich and is the only station on a short stretch of single line between Reedham and Great Yarmouth. The station is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all trains serving it.[2]

It is several miles from the nearest road and thus is accessible only by train, on foot[2][3] or by boat; it is a relatively short walk from the River Yare where private boats can moor. It was adopted in 2010 as part of the Station Adoption Scheme.[4]

Due to the short length of the platform only the first door of the train opens at the station.
