Heavy rain has continued to cause problems on north Norfolk roads today (Sunday).
Several hours of rain overnight on Friday and Saturday resulted in some surface flooding which has caused problems for rail and road users across the county.
The B1159 Stalham Road in Sea Palling is currently flooded at the Hickling Road junction.
There are also disruptions to the Norwich to Sheringham Greater Anglia services today between Norwich and Sheringham, but this is because of engineering work and not the weather.
A replacement bus service has been put on for train users.
Yesterday, Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service said officers were called to flooding incidents in Sharon Close, Felmingham, near North Walsham, and The Grove, in Ingham, near Stalham at about 11am where they gave advice to property owners.
Flooding also caused problems on the A1151 Norwich Road in Smallburgh.
