If coming from the south, the A12 London-Great Yarmouth road passes right through the town. Note that past Ipswich much of the road is single-carriageway and can become congested during summer holidays and weekends so allow 3-4 hours driving time from London. A- and B-roads link Lowestoft to most other locations in Suffolk and Norfolk.
Lowestoft Station is located right in the centre of town and is the terminus of 2 lines. Services to Norwich run every hour and take around 30-45 minutes depending on the number of stops. There is also a service every hour to Ipswich which takes around 90 minutes and stops at many places including Beccles, Halesworth, Saxmundham and Woodbridge. If you are coming from London you have two options for Lowestoft, either change at Ipswich or Norwich, the fastest option will depend on your connection. If you are coming from Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield or Nottingham then a direct train takes you to Norwich for the onward connection to Lowestoft.
All buses terminate at the town-centre bus station on Gordon Road in Lowestoft. National Express operates three services a day between London Victoria bus station and Lowestoft routing either via Thetford, Norwich & Gt Yarmouth or Diss & Beccles. The useful First Bus X1 service is an hourly express coach from Peterborough via Norwich & Great Yarmouth to Lowestoft. Note there's no direct bus service to Ipswich (take the train) & that getting to Great Yarmouth by train is very indirect and requires a change at Norwich so it's much quicker to take the bus.
