A fantastic trip report, we live quite close and happened to be driving out of Gt Yarmouth as this train was coming into the station on Monday. It was lovely to see it and the crowds of people along the tracks waiting to see the train. It looks like you had an amazing trip.

I love your train trip reports. Brought back memories of our Tornado trip to Dartmouth in June. Happy days!

Ditto! I went to watch the afternoon circus on bank holiday Monday at the hippodrome! Our family tradition for my birthday. Glad you enjoyed your day trip x

I used to roller skate at the winter gardens, spending most most of my teen years there. It had a wooden floor and was brilliant. Friday night was disco night.
Back in the day I would use the ferry, skate to rink and ferry home again, I think it was 50p to cross the river.
It was also turned into a play area which was good, but the structure isn’t safe now so it stands empty which is a real shame.
I served Jim Davidson when I worked as a waitress at The Carlton Hotel many years ago and he still tours here every year.
