Is anyone traveling from Norwich for the game? Unsure how the trains will work with both sets of fans? Going solo and don’t really fancy getting loads of stick in my Ipswich shirt! |  | | |  |

All part of the fun, I reckon. Start with a long, jeering chorus about Nunez and then remind them that they've never won anything except a few Mickey Mouse bits.
Should be a laugh. |  |

If you're concerned about it, just pop a jumper or a jacket over the top. You'll be far from the only person (outwardly, at least) using the train for non-footballing purposes.
Otherwise take a look at the train times, and get yourself onto one of the services that stops at Diss and Stowmarket. I seem to recall that GA operate one or two services on derby days that run direct from Norwich to Ipswich in order to minimise the perceived risk of the fans mingling. | |

Would I be right in saying that you will have more difficulty accessing a train heading to Norwich after the match having been in the home end? I guess that if you are happy to wait around before going back it would be fine. |  |

I'm pretty sure I've had no issue training it back up to Norwich post-match in the past. Although that will have been pre-2019.
I assume they still have the two 'lanes' leading back up to the station, which then disgorge everyone out into the station in a bit of a free-for-all? Given that the Norwich trains depart from Platform 3, with the Cambridge/Bury/Peterborough services departing from Platform 4, I can see that it would be a hell of a job stopping Town fans from accessing Platform 3. | |

They (the police) usually funnel the Norwich fans into the station through the side entrance these days but there has been occasions where they’ve blocked the front entrance to stop others getting in until they’ve cleared unless you can prove you’re not a football fan and just a ‘normal’ member of the public 
There’s usually an empty special football train waiting for the away fans so tends to clear pretty quickly. |  |

My understanding from a nodge fan is that they get marched all the way to the train and made to get on it regardless of how they got to the game.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was an exaggerated account, though. | |

I'm sure that's happened up at Carrow Road as well in the past? I know that, in the past, I've had to use my driving licence to prove that I live in Norwich, and not get forced onto the Ipswich train. | |

Yes has been known to happen, I know someone that parked in the City centre but still got marched to the train station.
The policing is OTT and ridiculous sometimes, they make it worse than it is. | |

I've had this in Reading as well. Kingy tried to shove me on the Paddington bound train while I was in the Three Guineas despite me having driven down and staying in digs. |  |

Doesn’t sound like the sort of thing that bow legged tit would do… 👀
Anyway, back to the point in question, they have an empty football special on platform 2, ready for Norwich fans to jump on as they enter the station from a side entrance. This way they then have the ability to section off the stairway for fans departing elsewhere to access platform 3 3b 4 etc that way. |  |
