The Transport Game

Norfolk Green's 10 service takes us to Heacham Lavender at 1845, arriving at 1851 Monday evening

It takes us a little while to get our bearings at Hunstanton, as we are initially surprised at being able to see the sun set over the sea at which we thought was an east-coast resort.

We then retire to the Red Lion Hotel for a superb dinner and a few drinks, and, one leading to another, decide to seek a bed there for the night.

We're up in good time in the morning to return to the Bus Station for the 0825 Norfolk Green service 11 to Sandringham, arriving at Princess Drive at 0900, Tuesday morning, as we've decided to visit the House there to catch-up with a few old friends.

EDIT beaten to it - I can't even have any fantasies any more! We're at Heacham the previous evening.

OK - We're determined not to disappoint our Friends, so we stay in Heacham overnight, before boarding our Norfolk Green service 11 at 0839 in the morning, to Sandringham, Princess Drive, from where we then make our way to their House. On Tuesday morning.

The 0839 bus above arrives at 0900 at Sandringham outside the visitor centre.

We stay at the area too look around, having established that Princess Drive is not a visiting royal, and then we board the 1100 Norfolk Green service 11 to Kings Lynn bus station that arrives there at 1126 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Trainfan344]

We then board the 11:32 First in Suffolk and Norfolk x1 service to Lowestoft arriving there at 14:40 on Tuesday Afternoon

We then board the 11:32 First in Suffolk and Norfolk x1 service to Lowestoft arriving there at 14:40 on Tuesday Afternoon

From the time of arrival of 1440, it would appear that the point of disembarkation on that journey above would be at Lowestoft bus station.

 

[dzug2]

We'll continue from Gordon Road (just outside the bus station as far as I can make out) and travel on Anglian's 601 service at 1513 to arrive in Southwold Putting Green at 1603 on Tuesday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to partake of afternoon refreshments in this rather nice settlement before returning to the bus stop to board the 1647 Anglian Bus and Coach service 601 to Gorleston (opposite Roslyn Road) that arrives there at 1803 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

Further refreshments before catching Ambassador's 607 service at 1842 to Blundeston opp Red Lion arriving at 1905 Tuesday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Once again, we come to terms with the complete lack of public transport in an area in the early evening, so having ensured we have have overnight accommodation booked with the customary early morning alarm call, we spend the evening in total relaxation and retire early for the night. After a good nights sleep, we set off back to the bus stop and are in good time to board the 0715 Ambassador Travel service 607 to Lowestoft bus station that arrives there at 0744 on Wednesday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We make our way to the station for the 0755 GA service to Reedham arriving at 0814 Wednesday morning

 

[gnolife]

We take a break for breakfast, and kill a bit of time looking around Reedham before joining the 11:57 Greater Anglia service to Berney Arms, arriving 12:03 Wednesday

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to spare here with not much at all to do but to patiently await the 1520 GA service to Brundall that arrives at 1538 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We have neary an hour to kill before First's 15 service takes us (from the end of Station Road) at 1629 to Wymondham opp Cross, arriving at 1743 Wednesday afternoon

 

[gnolife]

We walk to Wymondham Station, and take the 18:06 East Midlands Trains service to Nottingham, arriving at 20:31 Wednsdya

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A very short wait sees us board the 2045 Northern service to Sheffield that arrives there at 2154 on Wednesday evening

 

[gnolife]

We take the 22:11 TransPennine Express service to Manchester Airport, arriving 23:26 Wednesday

 

[dzug2]

The 2234 Northern service takes us to Goole arriving at 2343 Wednesday evening

Curses. I'll bow out for a few moves though

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We now take the 0038 First TPE service to York that arrives at 0245 on Thursday morning.

 

[Rich McLean]

We find somewhere to kip for the night before boarding the 0632 Crosscountry service to Plymouth, arriving at 12:49 Friday afternoon

There must have been some very bad weather if you left York at 0632 on Thursday morning and did not arrive in Plymouth until 1249 on Friday afternoon....I make that a 30 hour journey:roll:hock:

Whoops

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Only a brief wait until we board the 1311 FGW service to Redruth that arrives there at 1437 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Rich McLean]

Only a short wait until we board the 14:48 First Devon & Cornwall service 42 to Weeth Lane (nr Cambourne), arriving at 1524 Thursday Afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Only a short wait until we board the First Devon & Cornwall service 42 to Weeth Lane (nr Cambourne), arriving at 1524 Thursday Afternoon

Sorry, but I cannot find a 42 service that gets there until 1552....what time did your service set off from Redruth on the Monday to Friday timetable?

 

[Rich McLean]

1448 from Redruth Railway Station http://www.cornwallpublictransport.info/pdf_tts/FIRST_Service%2040_42_West.pdf

EDIT: Service 40, not service 42

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to look around for a while before we board the 1552 First in Devon and Cornwall service 41 to Penryn (Hendra Chemist) that arrives there at 1638 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

First's No 2 sservce departs at 1704 and takes us to Helston Blue Anchor, arriving at 1742 Thursday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to see a little of Helston, but being mindful of the time and wishing to proceed even further into The Lizard, we return to the bus stop and board the 1820 First in Devon and Cornwall service 2A to Porthleven (Wellington Road) that arrives there at 1827 on Thursday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We continue, still on the 2A, at 1907 to Praa Sands Trewartha Road, arriving at 1921 on Thursday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We spend quite a while walking on the beach, but we soon have to return to the bus stop to board the 2021 First in Devon and Cornwall service 2A to Long Rock (Riverside) that arrives there at 2040 on Thursday evening.
