A Class 438 4TC train has come in on Platform 2
From Waterloo Station to Great Yarmouth, London and Norfolk - 20th September 1987
Nosher's moved over to Norwich for an industrial placement year and almost immediately decides to buy a second-hand bike from housemate Barney, and despite not having cycled much for the last couple of years sets off to cycle from Norwich to Great Yarmouth - a distance of around 20 miles. At around half-way, near the Stracey Arms windpump, it's hard going, and a sweater has to be pressed in to service as a saddle softener. By the time Yarmouth is reached, standing up in the peddles is the order of the day so the train is the only way back. Before that, Nosher's on the way back from Walkford, which gives a chance to get a few photos of Waterloo Station and the morning rush-hour, whilst on the way to Norwich.
