Only ordered mine late yesterday afternoon. Arrived first thing this morning which is great as I thought hunting the postman down on Saturday morning. Cant wait. The train will take the strain which after the journey back on Friday and Tuesday will be very welcome.

I didn't even think about a train. How long does that take and are there change overs?

We are going on the five to six from Cardiff to Paddington. Tube to Liverpool Street and then to Norwich, arrive 11.45. We got advance tickets a while back but very pricey otherwise. Also a train leaves five to seven but gets in Norwich 12.45. If you do go and you cant get a cheapy, consider looking at split tickets. Cardiff to London, London to Norwich. May also need to get separate ticket across London but as you have an hour and 40 mins to do it, you can walk it if your sense of direction is good!

Sorted the bus for this time mate but it is something to think about for the future.
I've only been to Norwich once but my mates said it took them 7 hrs last year on the way home :shock:
