Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Roughton Road railway station is on the Bittern Line in Norfolk, England, on the outskirts of the town of Cromer. It takes its name from the street on which it is located, and is several miles north of the village of Roughton. It is 24 miles 1 chain (38.6 km) down the line from Norwich and is situated between Gunton and Cromer stations.

It is a modern halt station that was opened by British Rail in 1985. Today it is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates all passenger trains that call. It is unstaffed and consists of a single platform.

The station is approximately half a mile from the site of a closed station called Cromer High, the former terminus of the Great Eastern Railway (GER), and is located on the site of the former junction between the GER and the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway, at the entrance to the disused Cromer Tunnel.
