TIL 1010 4,660 Posted August 20, 2014 Trains run every half hour on the hour and half hour and The 5hithole known as The Station Hotel is open from 9am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 141 Posted August 20, 2014 There is also a football special, but to avoid being treated like an animal by Suffolk Police I''d advise to use a service train as mentioned above my PC Tilson.Should you wish to use the special, it departs Norwich at 10:48, Diss 11:06 arriving into Ipswich at 11:32.The return is scheduled to leave Ipswich at 14:35.

TIL 1010 4,660 Posted August 20, 2014 No TCC but he is worried that if I give too much travel info I might take his title of Fan of The Year. [:D]All I will say is anyone who wants to run the risk of arriving by train on time around thirty odd minutes before kick off is somewhat brave on the notorious Norwich to London line.

Matt Juler 141 Posted August 20, 2014 All tickets should be valid on the football special. For those heading in a group (3 or more), make sure you ask for a GroupSave ticket to save 1/3 of the fare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
