Rather than another trip to Norwich we will take advantage of the overnight relaxation and take the 0515 Greater Anglia service to Great Yarmouth arriving at 0540 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leaving the railway station, we take the seven-minute walk to the bus stop adjacent to St Nicholas church on Northgate Street and there board the 0600 First Norfolk & Suffolk service 1 to Lowestoft (Bus Station) that arrives there at 0645 on Tuesday morning.

We next board the 1426 Ipswich Buses Greenwich Greyhound service 2 to Ipswich (the bus stop adjacent to Coprolite Street on Duke Street) that arrives there at 1442 on Tuesday afternoon.

This posting has been struck-through on account of what is stated in the italicized start of the following posting which has made this posting that used a different start time and a different bus service number redundant.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 1426 Ipswich Buses Greenwich Greyhound service 2 to Ipswich (the bus stop adjacent to Coprolite Street on Duke Street) that arrives there at 1442 on Tuesday afternoon.

There is a 1 which does exactly the same journey 15 minutes prior so let's go with that (the 1 and the 2 are each half hourly providing a 15 minute headway along shared sections of the route).

As we have got the 14:11 service to 1 to Coprolite Street arriving at 14:27, this then means that we can walk around the corner to the Holy Trinity Church and board the 1443 Ipswich Buses Bixley Buster service 4 to Bixley (Glemham Drive), arriving there at 1456 on Tuesday afternoon.

As we have got the 14:11 service to 1 to Coprolite Street arriving at 14:27, this then means that we can walk around the corner to the Holy Trinity Church and board the 1443 Ipswich Buses Bixley Buster service 4 to Bixley (Glemham Drive), arriving there at 1456 on Tuesday afternoon.

This area of Ipswich appears to only be served by the one bus service and a cursory glance doesn’t show any alternative bus stops offering a more exciting service.

Having spent half an hour in this residential suburb, we board the 15:26 Ipswich Buses service 4. We alight at Ipswich Buttermarket at 15:56 this Thursday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Moving away from the Ipswich area, we make a quick walk around the corner onto Great Colman Street and board the 1602 First Norfolk & Suffolk Felixstowe Flyer service 75 to Felixstowe (Great Eastern Square), arriving there at 1646 on Thursday afternoon.

Norfolk Omnibus Syndrome? That’s a new one!

 

[ValleyLines142]

That appears to be it for the rest of the day, so in the morning we return for the 0621 First Norfolk & Suffolk Ipswich Reds service 65 to Saxmundham (Street Farm Road), arriving there at 0650 on Friday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

We're beginning to run out of options in thie area, so walk the 0.2 miles (4 mins) to Saxmundham railway station where we catch the 0744 Greater Anglia service to Lowestoft where we arrive at 0833 on Friday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0850 Greater Anglia service to Haddiscoe that arrives there at 0905 on Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Not much to explore here in terms of transport either, so we continue on the 1003 Greater Anglia service 2J71 to Brundall, arriving there at 1022 on Friday morning.

Heading up the hill to the bus stop Brundall, The Street adjacent to Station Road in time to board the 10:41 FirstBus service 15. We alight at Norwich, Cringleford Interchange at 11:30 this Friday morning.

Five minutes waiting at the same stop, KonectBus’ service 11 departs at 12:57. This takes us to Swaffham, Market Place opposite the Kings Arms public house, where we alight at 13:30 this Friday afternoon.

 

[DerekC]

We grab a pie and a pint at the Red Lion while waiting for the 14:27 Go To Town service 32 to Mileham (Litcham Road) where we arrive at 15:07 on Friday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

Well this is the sort of situation I often get us into ... I can't see any other alternatives for the remainder of the day, and the only services that serve Mileham don't run at the weekend, so I assume we must wait for over two whole days and catch the first available service on Monday morning, this being the 0903 Go To Town service 32 to Kings Lynn, Interchange arriving at 1025 on Monday morning.

Happy to be pointed to other alternatives I may have overlooked!

 

[-Colly405-]

There is just one more bus here today, 1539 Konectbus service 32. This service has only two more stops after we board it, so we alight at its only remaining stop outside Mileham, Litcham (Druids Lane) at 1545 on Friday.
