Frequently asked questions about travelling by train from Norfolk to Hartford
Yes, there are trains that can take you the entire way from Norfolk to Hartford. However, there are also some trips on this route that require you to board another vehicle, such as a coach or a shuttle, during your journey. This is worth paying attention to as you book your trip, since a direct train may be preferable for its speed and convenience.
Typically there is only one scheduled train per day. However, it is not a direct train.
