TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"If you’re travelling Off-Peak, a Day Saver ticket is often cheaper than an Anytime Day Return ticket. Day Savers offer unlimited travel for a day and start at £4.80 for adults (1 area). However, if you want to travel at Peak times or use a Railcard, you’re better off sticking with a Day Return ticket."
"Merseyrail is an excellent choice of transport for passengers with mobility issues. They have fully step-free trains and aim to have a fully step-free network by 2030. Trains feature a sliding step that meets the platform edge for level boarding and priority areas for wheelchair users: look for the wheelchair symbol on the outside of the train before boarding."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Norwich: Norwich is definitely compact enough to explore most of its historic centre on foot, but it's worth venturing a little further for one of the city's best viewpoints if you have the time. Head through the Cathedral grounds and cross Bishop Bridge towards Mousehold Heath for views of Norwich's medieval skyline. It's even more beautiful around sunset and offers a quieter escape from the busy shopping streets."
