LightBulbFun Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 side note, does anyone have a rough postcode or something I can feed into google maps? I figured you know I really should check just how far away this car is from me and sticking my rough postcode in and then "norfolk" into google maps its saying its near enough 10 hours on public transport despite the fact its only 2 hours by car that cant be right surely?

loserone Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I live 5 miles from Durham, and work 2 miles from Newcastle. If I got public transport to work and back, I could be in the office for about three hours before having to come home. Takes 35 minutes in the car on a Sunday yes oui si 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like it’s sending you by Bus. Would be quicker on the train with the route via Colchester being quicker normally, but some weekends at the moment there are engineering works, egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a rather rude awakening as to why no one outside of London (willingly anyway!) uses public transport!

wuvvum Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Liverpool Street to Norwich is between 90 and 110 minutes on the train depending how many stations it stops at en route. Train from Norwich to Wroxham is about 20 minutes, then it's a 10 minute drive to mine. Alternatively the Megabus from Stratford to Norwich is about 2 3/4 hours, then the bus from Norwich to mine is about an hour. I reckon that 10 hours is because you put in that you'd leave now - in which case you'd probably only get as far as Colchester or something before the trains stop and you'd have to spend the night there. egg, chadders, LightBulbFun and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
