Departing London Liverpool Street at 11:20 the train will pass through Stratford (London) (11:36), Ilford (11:43), Chelmsford (12:19), Witham (12:29), Colchester (12:44), Ipswich (13:23), Stowmarket (13:39), Diss (13:57), and Norwich at 14:24.

After a break at Dereham, the tour will depart, diesel hauled (with Mayflower on the rear), at 17:33, where it will then pass through Wymondham (18:33), Trowse Swing Bridge (18:50) and Norwich at 18:57.

Please note: there currently is no confirmation of which direction the diesel will haul the tour. It is confirmed to be Norfolk to Dereham in ONE direction, however no confirmation of whether it is outbound or return journey. However, we expect the case to be Dereham – Norwich rather than Norwich – Dereham, however, this can change at short notice.
