As can be expected at a station such as Tiverton Parkway, that was the last train, so we set up camp on the platform and wake up fresh, where we board the 0602 Great Western Railway service 1A73 to London Paddington, arriving there at 0837 on Thursday morning.

Despite having a population of 7,600, Fakenham has absolutely pathetic transport provisions from 7pm. We can either take one of the last X29 departures a mere three more stops to the terminus of Oak Street, or we can take another service in the morning. We opt for the latter, and kill two birds with one stone, where we take the ten minute, 0.5 mile walk to the Oak Street stop, and board the 0745 Stagecoach in Norfolk service X29 to Kings Lynn (Railway Station), arriving there at 0837 on Friday morning.
