andyg Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Unfortunately I've had a rather big bang in my car today and with my wife on call all weekend I won't have use of a car to travel up Friday morning, my courtesy car isn't available till friday lunchtime. My brother and sister don't drive and my other sister drives a mini. So we will be travelling up by train. Daft question I guess but has anyone ever got a cab/cabs from Norwich to Stalham?? Is there cabs at the station willing to go that far out of town. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I've gone by cab from Norwich hospital to Martham on more then one occasion. Pretty sure they will go from the station to Stalham also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broads01 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi Andy, sorry to hear this. I'd recommend you take a local train from Norwich to Hoveton & Wroxham and book a taxi from there. It'll save you some distance as far as the taxi is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Depends what the connection time is at Norwich. It’s one train an hour on the Sheringham line to Hoveton and Wroxham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnut Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Pm me if you are stuck Andy. I’m around the yard all day on Friday, I could empty the car of superfluous crud and collect you all from Wroxham station. I moor at Stalham so no real bother. It’d be a squeeze with 5 of us in the car plus luggage, but do-able. I’ve driven to the alps with 5 plus skis and ski gear and food for a week! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnut Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Other alternative to train to wroxham is the bus that goes from outside norwich railway station. Connectbus, line 5b I think. Goes to Stalham via either Wayford bridge or via Horning and ludham depending on which hour you’re on. I could shuttle you from Stalham high street to wherever your destination is, presumably richardsons. As I said above I’m more than happy to pick you up from wroxham station.Let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyg Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Thank for the very kind offers I really appreciate them. My son thought it was funny to turn up this morning with a roll of gaffer tape lol. Guess my sarcasm came back to bite me. I spoke to A2B cabs last night so it's not a problem getting to the yard. The accident is completely my fault I miss judged a gap that clearly wasn't there. I'm of the opinion it's a bit of dented metal that will get fixed no one was hurt and my insurance covers all the damage. oh my children won't let me forget this in a hurry I banged on enough about being a professional driver. Again thanks, BTW il try not to bump into anyone whilst afloat this weekend lol... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyg Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Lol...how 😁 my sisters have informed me, once they'd stop laughing, that they will be helming the boat this weekend. You can't miss them, one has a beard and smokes a pipe, the over is covered in tattoos and will have a can of Stella in her hand. Good old Essex girls. But we're all sorted now. Currently absolutely pouring down here in Essex, hopefully the weather picks up a bit. Thank 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
