*Appears as 0.7 miles on Google's walking directions, but they missed a pathway from the station to Reedham Road. Used the measure distance tool to get 0.4 miles.

 

[Esker-pades]

It's a 6 minute walk to the railway station to board the 15:48 Greater Anglia service to Buckenham, arriving there at 16:20 on a Saturday.

 

[DerekC]

Well, there are no buses here that I can find and no more trains today either so we explore the RSPB reserve, taking an extended overnight break (luckily we have our camping gear with us) and waiting until 09:49 to catch the Greater Anglia service to Berney Arms where we arrive at 10:03 on Sunday morning.

(There is a 2122 service back to Martham but I really do not see the point in going there when I imagine the only following service will be the return above!)
