Im planning on going to hemsby in june for a short holiday and travelling by train. Can anyone help me out in finding out how to get there (journey plan?) and how much it'll be for 3 adults? (i know you cant book that far in advance but a rough idea would be great!) ive tried about 6 sites but most are saying the postcodes are invalid We're going from sl2 1tz (slough) to
Hemsby Holiday Centre,
Beach Road,
Hemsby-on-Sea,
Norfolk NR29 4HL

I don't think there is a station at Hemsby, the nearest one is probably Gt Yarmouth. Try Qjump, you can only book 3months in advance but if you put in a date in April it will give you an idea of prices and routes. I'll have a look and see if I can see anything for you.

Hi

there in no station at Hemsby the nearest one is Great Yarmouth with is about 6 miles away. From Slough your looking at about 4 changes, looking at www.thetrainline.com price are from £45 return if you can get a value fare but can only book 3 months in advance.

Hope you get sorted.

I've just looked on Qjump and putting in a date for April, as you can only book 3 months ahead, it's showing £135 return for 3 people, that's without any railcards, travelling from Slough to Gt Yarmouth. The route is Slough - Paddington - Liverpool street - Norwich - Gt Yarmouth, then you'd need to get a bus to Hemsby. That's with a saver return ticket.

As previously posted, a saver return is £45, however there are single tickets at £16 each way available, but you will need to keep checking the website from about 12 wks in advance to get them.
Those fares are to Gt Yarmouth.

Would suggest this site to get tickets from.

To get to Camber Sands you'll need a train from Slough to Rye and then a bus. Putting in the same details as before the fare is coming up as £103.

There are frequent buses from Great Yarmouth to Hemsby. They stop in Beach Road in Hemsby. Don't know Yarmouth well enough to say how far from the station they stop, but it won't be miles.
