Its a slow route, but that cant be helped as it does serve a lot of the community so I guess its a benefit. Price wise bit expensive if you ask me. And the weekely 'savers' dont really save you much so not worth doing unlessyou use the buses a LOT.My advice, unless you MUST use a bike, car or walk!

When I rasied an issue with Paypal, they blocked my account stating they're doing so because i raised dispute for my transaction. After repeated requests to talk to superior, they have just taken a decision to block my account whereas they are the ones who didn't provide me service in the first place and got offended when a dispute was raised because they blatantly denied refunding the amount and unblocking my account. Twice they deducted money and didn't give the bus pass. Classic case of racial profiling.

At first this person couldnt take me but called that his fare had to cancel if I still wanted to go to the hospital. I am going to name him as it was a pure delight from beginning to end with this company and Darren the Viking as I put him down in my phone was a caring, kind, personable and I could say more gentleman. He waited for me, helped me with my mini mobility scooter and also went back to get a stool from his house as I am tiny. I wouldnt hesitate to book from Buzz cars again. I would give them 10/10

We got picked up by a friendly man, who helped us with our bags, and we travelled to the airport in a lovely comfortable and clean car. When we came back, our flight was nearly 45 minutes early, but when we walked into departures, the guy was there waiting for us. He mentioned that he had been following the flight online, so he knew exactly when it was coming in. We thought that this was a very nice touch. We will definitely be using Lion Travel again.

Can, not, fault. We…read morehired an 8 berth boat for a short break, and it was marvellous. The broads of course were lovely, and I plan to holiday like this again, and I have to say I would book with these guys. You can get yourself early bird discounts, which is a great thing to look out for, and when we had an unfortunate issue when we were trying to cross breydon water (getting stuck on full power, not a silly prank as we first thought, and a little frightening), it was easily fixed, and if I'm right, compensated for after the event since it messed with our travel plans. I'd definitely recommend holidaying on the broads to anyone.
The Mid-Norfolk Railway is a preserved railway line in Norfolk, running from Wymondham to Dereham…read more It makes a great day out for families and rail enthusiasts. The company has aspirations to extend the line and has relaid the line northwards to the village of North Elmham, and it also has a visitor attraction at County School station a few miles further north. At over 17 miles, it is one of the longest preserved lines in the UK, although regular train services operate only on the 11-mile Wymondham to Dereham section. The line orginally ran from Wymondham to Wells-next-the-Sea via Dereham and Fakenham, and opened as far as Dereham in 1847, being extended to Fakenham in 1849 and Wells in 1857. As with many other lines, the decline of traffic after World War II led to the section from Dereham to Wells being closed to passengers in 1964, and from Wymondham to Dereham in 1969, though the line remained open for freight until 1981. Various attempts were made to reopen the line, resulting in the establishment of the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust in 1995. Passenger services between Wymondham and Dereham commenced in 1999; the long-term aim is restore the line as fas as Fakenham. The railway is now run as a tourist attraction, with regular steam and heritage diesel services, geared around school holidays, and regular special events, the most popular of which are the "Polar Express" specials for children at Christmas. They are also available for weddings and other private events. Great care has been taken to recreate the steam-era atmosphere, with appropriate signs, old luggage trolleys etc. Unlike some other heritage lines, the resident stock of steam locomotives is more limited, so they are provided on a periodic basis from other preserved lines. The main station is Dereham, where there is a museum about the line, buffet and small shop, and a large car park. It also has level access and a wheelchair-friendly toilet. The facilities at Wymondham are more basic, with just a ticket office and platform (though it is fun to watch the steam engines run around the train here, which involves them going across and old-fashioned gated level crossing). Wymondham has level access (albeit with a steep sloped ramp) but only a temporary 'portaloo' toilet. Further details are provided on the website.

A massimo hot chocolate with all the trimmings and a massimo latte came to £5.55, and kept us busy with our papers for a good hour and a half. Plenty of seating, nice views of the river, and friendly staff - a nice way to while away the afternoon. Particularly on the super comfy, squishy leather sofa to the left of the entrance. I could well have had a snooze there if it hadn't been entirely inappropriate : )

The important thing to know is that this unmanned station has 19 steep steps between the roadway and the station platform and that during the daytime the trains only stop here every 2 hours. The railway bridge going over the road is an attractive architectural, feature with its forests on either side where it is home for some lovely woodland birds and wild flora. Now with the new Amazona Zoo open, people travelling to it on public transport may well find this station the best point to alight, as it will be a downhill walk alongside attractive farmland to reach the zoo entrance and avoid the busy town.

Serenity Charter will do the cruising for you, we were on a 1h30 trip for a hen do of about 10 people including a one-year-old and just got to sit back and relax as the Norfolk broads slipped past. The houses are fun to check out and although it's not the most variable scenery it's generally very lovely. We enjoyed it very much even though it was raining and we had the top down - we could still see out of the back and the seats were comfortable. Our skipper was delightful and provided us with champagne and strawberries (the vast majority of which got eaten by the one-year-old, whose adorable jumper was stained pink as incontrovertible proof!)
