Travelling from Norwich to London with Greater Anglia

Getting to Norwich station

After a great weekend spent in Norwich with my cousin, I took the 25 bus service from the UEA (University of East Anglia) campus to Norwich station. Buses run every 15 minutes from the campus and take about 20 minutes to reach the station. I had already booked my ticket online, so I went straight to the platform from which my train was due to depart.

Boarding the train

I boarded a Greater Anglia train and sat in the window seat I managed to reserve online. As I travelled in the morning in the middle of the week, the train was quite empty, so it was easy for me to find space to store my luggage.

The journey

It took me a little over an hour and a half to get from Norwich to London, stopping at Diss, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Manningtree, Colchester, Chelmsford, and London Stratford before reaching London Liverpool Street.

The train had onboard information displays that showed where exactly I was in the journey, so I kicked back and enjoyed the peace and quiet around me while watching the world go by. Free WiFi was also available on board, although it was cutting out in some places.

Arriving at London Liverpool Street

The train arrived right on time at London Liverpool Street station. I headed down the escalators and followed the very helpful signs to the underground station. From there, I took the Central Line and went back home.

What I enjoyed about the journey

During the journey, I enjoyed looking out of the windows and admiring the great views – the British countryside is so beautiful! I was able to sit back and relax, as the seats were comfortable and there was air conditioning on the train. I was also able to charge my devices thanks to the plug sockets on board, and there was free WiFi!

I was also impressed with the speed of the journey – I was able to travel from Norfolk to the nation’s capital in under two hours!

What I didn’t like about the journey

One thing I didn’t like about my trip was the toilet facilities on board the train.

That said, overall I was fairly happy with my train trip from Norwich to London. I was impressed with most of the amenities available on board and it was a quick journey into the capital.
