The Bittern Line Norwich – Cromer – Sheringham

East Suffolk Line Ipswich – Lowestoft

Wherry Lines Norwich – Great Yarmouth / Lowestoft

Breckland Line Norwich - Wymondham - Attleborough - Thetford - Brandon - Cambridge

All services are operated by National Express East Anglia (http://www.nationalexpres...) NXEA. In addition to the standard range of tickets offered by all train operating companies, NXEA offers a series of 'Anglia Plus' rail passes which allow for one or three days unlimited travel in Norfolk Suffolk or Cambridgeshire. These can be bought on the day of travel from the ticket office or from the conductor on board the train if no ticket office is available.

There is also the Poppy Line, a preserved railway run by the [www.nnrailway.co.uk|North Norfolk Railway], that runs from Holt to Sheringham, where the Poppy Line station is just a short walk from the regular station that runs services to Norwich. Holt station is a couple of miles from the town center, but a horse drawn cart connects the town to the station. In peak season, Poppy Line trains run approximately hourly. Some trains are steam powered; some diesel.

By Bicycle, Or On Foot

Norfolk's geography makes it an exceptionally easy place to explore by bicycle or on foot, and the county is a good destination for cyclists and hikers to explore. Trains and buses are also increasingly friendly towards cyclists who wish to travel with their bikes, although it is strongly advised to call the transport operator in advance to check availability of space and, if necessary, to reserve it.
