Coach travel is a great option for journeying on a budget. National Express coaches stop at many places across the county, such as Ipswich, Felixstowe, Sudbury and Newmarket, to name just a few. They also run a ‘Funfares’ promotion on which you can travel for just £1, and Cambridge is one of the destinations included. If you travel frequently it is also worth checking out their coach card schemes.
The train is another easy and cost effective way to travel both to and within Suffolk. Again, there are deals that can cut the cost even further. The Anglia Plus railcard includes travel on most National Express, East Midlands trains and First Capital Connect services and, on most, you can take your bike for no extra charge. There are options for travel on one day, three consecutive days and seven consecutive days.
