Hi all,
as a "beginner" train enthusiast I'm really struggling to find a way of making my proposed day out on the Greater Anglia network sustainable - this is the first trip I've ever tried to coordinate by rail and it seems that flexibility isn't of the essence on the surface.
My plan is essentially to leave Liverpool Street just after 09:30 and clear the Southminster, Sudbury, (possibly) Harwich and Walton On The Naze branches, as well as going up from Ipswich to Lowestoft and then going through Berney Arms to Great Yarmouth, back to Norwich and then express back to London.
The problem being, I really cannot afford to spend more than £50.00 and the rovers and rangers only cover a small proportion of my trip. Buying singles all the way also really isn't viable.
It does look like a day of this size and scale is not possible, but if you intelligent railway experts have any clues on how to obtain a ticket that meets a decent proportion of my requirements, that would be superb!
