Local Transport Info Required

[LadyPatricia]

I'm after some local knowledge if anyone can help.

i want to get from Somerleyton marina up to Wayford bridge hotel using public transport, taxis, horse and cart, tractor, in fact by any means possible ....... apart from walking 

ive been quoted over £70 for a taxi for the whole journey. Anyone have any ideas of a cheaper way of getting there please.

 

my taxi, commonly known as Jaws, probably won't be available

Just a guess, but how about train to Wroxham and then a taxi? Or a bus if there is one.

When do you need to travel? We'll be at Somerleyton later in the week, so happy to help if we can.

[LadyPatricia]

Looking at sat 5 Nov at the moment. We will arrive Somerleyton around 10am

Hi Steve,

That is the trouble these days with the young, no commitment

I'm not familiar with buses around Somerleyton, but the following train/bus/bus would work.

1158 Train from Somerleyton to Norwich arr 1233

First Bus service 25 (university) from Railway Station car park to Castle Meadow (frequent service).

1321 Sanders X11 bus from Castle Meadow (stand CF) to Wayford Bridge arr 1353

I've done the one way route to comply with your enquiry.  Remember that North of Hoveton you are in the land of Cinderella and have to be home early - there are very few buses in the afternoons.

Service X11 buses run directly between Norwich-Hoveton-Wayford Bridge and Stalham.

Service 11 buses run directly between Norwich and Hoveton but serve Horning-Ludham-Sutton and Catfield en route to Stalham.

Love it !

If it's a weekend in a couple of weeks we will certainly try and be up that way... I don't need much of an excuse to go up to norfolk! although the next couple of weeks are just looking a pain  and the mechanic needs to put in a new heating system. 

We have used Rupert from All Aboard though and he was good and fair.. We went from Brundall to Horning and it wasn't expensive.

Hi steve there is a good taxi firm called there & back & the driver is called michael & he's very nice & he's on fbook  , he's based around wroxham ,& he really looked after us when we were down there ,  but not sure how far he goes to , here is his card , but just to let you know that most buses & taxis finish about 5pm this time of year.  lori

Train to Norwich, train to Wroxham, bus to Wayford? Haven't looked into it but that would be my guess.

Thanks for the replies and ideas you lovely lot.

 

looks like Jaws has stepped up and will help us out, what a gent he is.
