Just discovered that it is possible to buy a through ticket which includes a bus transfer from Kings Lynn to Hunstanton. Apart from Plusbus are there many other similar connections on the network?

I think I have answered my own question by putting Cambridge to (by bus) in journey planner. It shows up a few journeys that are possible.

There are lots of them, not all of them show up in the journey planner though...

In East Anglia there is the X1 from Peterborough to Norwich (formerly Great Yarmouth). You can buy rail tickets via Peterborough to towns as far as Dereham.

The X1 was altered to 2 sections to avoid delays from Norwich roadworks.
It runs Peterborough to Norwich with a separate Norwich to Great Yarmouth section

I'm intrigued by the fares from Dereham (Coach) to London. The any permitted flow is priced by VTEC. There are also GN-only fares.

NRE isn't helpful in identifying permitted routes. Presumably via King's Lynn or Peterborough to King's Cross is fine, but would the any permitted tickets be ok, and without hassle, if used via Norwich to Liverpool Street?

Mods: Please feel free to move this to the Fares section if preferred.

Halesworth to Southwold is available as a rail ticket despite the last train running 1929. Sold it once.

And there is Bittern Ranger which can be used on the Coasthopper buses, and can also be sold by them.

The lady at our ticket office was a bit confused when I asked for a SVR to "Mevagissey Bus" a few years ago - though she is now used to me asking for unusual tickets!


Whitby Bus can be used as a destination online - for journey via York & then the coastline bus to Whitby.
I have also booked through to Minehead bus in the past.

Was there any science behind which closures received a bus through fare like this and which didnt?
