You can always part at the leisure centre, which is only a 5min walk from the station

Are the trains running? I think they have been using a bus service all week.

As others have mentioned, no trains between Thetford and Norwich this weekend.  More details of the replacement bus service here: http://www.nationalexpresseastanglia.com/content/download/35833/403210/file/NRW-CBGSat20Feb.pdf

Also no trains between Lowestoft and Norwich.

not impressed with the trains, in addition to buses from Peterborough to Norwich, there is now buses between Doncaster and Selby . Was meant to be driving,so no early bird train ticket so £72 for the wonderful 4 1/2 hour train journey 75% of which is a bus. To be fair this used to be everyweek a few years back so it''ll be like the good old days! (Hoping for a better score line though)

Ill be waiting for the surprise by the train staff when the coaches get stuck in traffic after the game and people miss connections. They seem to struggle with the idea that people may want to travel by train to a football game.

You will need help if you park in Thetford. It is a dirty hole where you are more than likely to lose your wheels. I would rather park in Kabul, much safer

A huge exaggeration I think!

 

Yes Thetford has its problems but then again so does every town of a similar size!

 

Thetford isn''t that bad!

[Yobocop 1,444]

There is a big car park its called the A11 and runs on one lane right through Elveden Forest

yep well done back to school on monday is it. Thetford is nowhere near as bad anymore, although i would like to see you in kabul.

You could always leave your car on the A11 single-carridgeway through Elveden Forest, that''s like a car park at times!

I hope your brother doesn''t mind you putting a picture of his wifes bazookas on this message board lol

[/quote]The only problem with the town is the center desperately needs redevelopment. Woolies was the only shop worth going in now it''s all charity shops.
