About Norwich Train Station
Norwich train station is a terminus; the services either start or end there. It is not very big.
Norwich train station has a few coffee shops, a small mini supermarket and a book and newspaper shop, it also has cash points and an information desk. The person who will be liaising with the taxis will be in the main foyer where the seats are laid out in a circular formation. Due to the shape of this foyer area it is easy to find people.
There are some payphones in the foyer area. In the UK calling mobiles from payphones is expensive, and usually the Autscape contact person has a mobile. Mobiles have a connection fee of 40p and then cost 10p per 12 seconds. There is a minimum cost of 60p for any phone call type.
If you live in the UK it may be cheaper to phone a relative and have them phone the mobile on your behalf. National (and local) calls have a 40p connection fee and then cost 10p for 15 minutes. Again there is a minimum call charge of at least 60p.
