Lowestoft to London with Greater Anglia Trains
I've never understood why anyone who lives in the same town as me, or in this area, would drive to London. In fact I struggle to understand a lot of journeys we make around here when we can go by train instead. Any trip I've gone on to London has always been via train, either when going to an event or a day out in London itself or if it is on the way to Pari…
