Norwich Railway Station

I find Norwich Station is a great diversion for the kids when they’re getting a bit stir-crazy at home. The boys absolutely love trains and Norwich Railway station is a fantastic terminus where there is always an arrival and departure to watch and wave at.

Parking outside the station is usually readily available and free if you use the 20 minute ‘drop-off bays’- I’ve popped a photo in for you to see where these are located.

Once in the railway station, if you ask the platform guard nicely at the gates, they are always happy to let us through the barrier and onto the platform to view the trains.

Ok, so it’s not a full day out, but a nice short activity if you find yourself with a bit of a gap in the day or kids that need to get out the house on a rainy day.

We love visiting any railway station, so if you don’t live too close to Norwich have a go at visiting your local station, we also love Wymondham (Lovely cafe), Diss and randomly Shippea Hill– if you are ever near Ely and want to visit the one of the quietest stations in the country!
