Canaries fans will benefit from an extra late-night train service this week.

Greater Anglia is running the additional service after Norwich City's match against Birmingham City at 7.45pm on Wednesday at Carrow Road.

The train will depart Norwich at 10.27pm, calling at Diss, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Manningtree, Colchester, Witham, Chelmsford, Shenfield, and Stratford, before arriving at London Liverpool Street at 12.30am.

James Reeve, group station manager at Greater Anglia, said: "We know this match is very important to our customers, which is why we are running this additional train.

"We always want to support large local events where possible and make it easy for people to travel by train so they can leave the car at home."

Lewis Buck, senior account manager at Mobilityways, added: "Mobilityways has been working with Norfolk County Council, Norwich City Football Club and transport operators to improve options for football day travel.

"We have provided a travel survey and postcode analysis for the partnership and are really pleased to see improvements like this from Greater Anglia that benefit fans."
