I came across this advert the other day which describes travelling from Watton to Norwich in two hours. I find the advert quite confusing although it would appear that you travelled to Attleborough station from Watton by omnibus which was a horse drawn carriage and then presumably by train to Norwich and then by omnibus or “flies” (a fast lightweight carriage) into the city. The return journey is less clear but I it looks like you were transported to Trowse station by omnibus and then presumably back to Attleborough by train and then omnibus to Watton. I did wonder whether Watton ever got a railway and it appears it did in 1869.
