Extra trains put on for the thousands visiting Cromer Carnival

People travelling to the Cromer Carnival on Wednesday 17 August are set to benefit from extra services put on by Greater Anglia.

In the morning, as well as the normal timetabled services, Greater Anglia will add an additional service which will depart Norwich at 10.10 calling at Hoveton & Wroxham (10.25), North Walsham (10.38) and Cromer at 10.54.

The event attracts thousands, and on its post-pandemic return will feature everything from jousting to a Red Arrows display.

• Greater Anglia platform work
• New Greater Anglia app provides greater flexibility for rail passengers
• All Greater Anglia’s West Anglia services now served by new trains

An extra service will also run that evening. It will leave Cromer at 22.10, calling at Roughton Road (22.16), Gunton (22.22), North Walsham (22.28), Worstead (22.33), Hoveton & Wroxham (22.40), Salhouse (22.44) and due to arrive in Norwich at 22.57.

Martin Moran, Greater Anglia’s Commercial and Customer Service Director, said: “Cromer Carnival is a popular event and we’re very pleased to run extra services so people can leave the car at home and take the train.  We want to make it as easy as possible for people to attend, and there will be extra members of staff helping people with their journeys.

“To save time and beat the queues, passengers are advised to buy tickets online or via the Greater Anglia app before they travel and people travelling in groups of three or more can save money with GroupSave.

“Our new trains are longer and have more seats, however we would ask everyone to be patient while boarding as we are expecting higher than usual passenger numbers on these services.”

Customers are advised to use the full length of trains and platforms.
