Queen Elizabeth II’s country house, Sandringham House, is located just two miles from Station House. Historically, the station master would reside in Station House.

Wolferton Railway Station was regularly used by the royal family to go to Sandringham up until the late 1960s.

The Queen usually travels to Sandringham for her traditional Christmas and New Year break, which she spends with other members of the royal family.

However, the coronavirus pandemic forced Her Majesty to cancel plans to travel there in 2020 and 2021. Instead, she celebrated Christmas at Windsor Castle for both Christmases.

She was most recently in Sandringham for several weeks in January and February, and marked her 70^th anniversary since her accession to the throne while in Sandringham House.
