This excursion into Norwich and Norfolk seems to be a disaster - can you really walk from near the Bus Station to the Railway Station in that time?

EDIT: having looked at Google Maps, and from my own experience, it is certainly more than half a mile, as per the rules on #1 of this thread

Disaster is a bit of a strong word - this is the only possible error that I can see in the Norfolk/Norwich bit.

I agree that the walk from the bus station to the train station in Norwich is somewhere between half a mile and a mile - to do it in 15 minutes we probably ran part of the way, or something. Another one to be careful of in the future.
