This is the itinerary for the day where the first train I am catching is a parliamentary train where this train service even made the news in 2008 for being in a train crash at Barrow-Upon-Soar with 7 passengers aboard.

I will be able to do breaks on the line where I will have an anytime card and I would like your recommendations on this where I have never been to this area before and tell me what else there is and any advice!

I got a message about which forum it is meant to be posted in and I am thankful to the people who have done this and that I would be able to try and get use to this

I can't advise on the area but I can say there is a saving to be made by "splitting" at Peterborough, as identified by Trainsplit.com

This is because, like XC, EMT charge a premium for some longer distance journeys, which are charged at a higher rate than a combination of shorter journeys, I think longer distance passengers are seen as a 'cash cow' to be milked by some Train Companies.

Also your ticket inspector on the North Norfolk Railway could be one of our Quizmasters!

that sounds very interesting and I hope that quizmaster might see this forum and give me some advice

Can't see you getting from the station (slightly out of the way, behind Morrisons*), to the pier and back via the museam in Cromer within 2 hours. Also be careful, as I don't think the museam opens on Mondays.
30mins is 31mins too long to spend at Holt in my opinion...

 

[RyBro5676]

Being there in Holt is just the train where I would have to wait 30 mins for the train to leave.

In Cromer, I don't know how long it would take me to go round the museum and I will just visit the pier and the RNLI Museum where I would just have a break and then get the train.

I would officially have lunch at the old rock shop bistro in Cromer and dinner at the Sheringham Trawler and I would like to know if anyone has ever been to them and if you do, can you tell me what it is like and what are the prices.

P.S. I would also try some cromer crab dressed and can you tell me the best place to get it from.

Cromer is a surprising long way from Cromer station. As has been said you will been in one real rush, no way you could do all four, or even two of those, comfortably. Same for Sheringham really, its not as far as Cromer but it would still possibly be a bit of a rush.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the station bistro at Wymondham, its really not up to much (at least when I went). More recently it always seems to be one of those places visited only by persons of a certain age who like their food nice and soft and easy to chew!

Places you've missed, Hoveton & Wroxham, lovely town on the Broads, guided boat trips and hire a boat services. The walk from Cromer or West Runton to Sheringham is nice on a lovely day. And Ely, Ely is worth a look.

And anyway, one of your ticket inspectors on the proper railway might be me!
