Opened by the Eastern and Midlands Railway, Aylsham North became a Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway station. During the Grouping of 1923, it converted to a joint operation of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway, with the latter taking sole operation in 1936.
The station then passed on to the
nationalisation in 1948 and was closed by the British Transport Commission
, along with the rest of the line, in 1959.
